The border between the United States and Mexico was the “most dangerous land migration route in the world” in 2022, with 686 people killed or missing in 12 months, says a report from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) presented this Tuesday (12) .
“The number represents almost half of the 1,457 deaths and disappearances of migrants documented on the American continent in 2022, the deadliest year recorded since the IOM’s Missing Migrants Project (MMP) began its activities in 2014, according to the document.
“In 2022, we recorded 668 migrant deaths (100 women, 454 men, 31 minors, 83 with undetermined sex and age) on the US-Mexico border,” states the IOM’s annual regional summary.
