- Our group, the International Organization for Migration, has data showing that 2014 will be the deadliest year for migrants on record. Our final figures, to be published later this month, will more than double the 2,378 deaths we reported last year. In the Mediterranean alone this year, some 3,400 migrant men, women and children have drowned — a fivefold increase over 2013. Altogether, the number of migrant deaths in 2014 on land and at sea stands at 4,868.
