Migration routes have become increasingly dangerous despite a decrease in irregular arrivals. Conditions such as extreme weather, conflicts, and economic pressures have altered migration paths in several regions during the first four months of 2026. The Mediterranean central route has seen a significant increase in deaths and disappearances, with 821 reported cases.

This is a notable increase from the previous period. Further details on migration trends and related incidents are available from the Organization for Migration, which has released data on the situation in various regions.
