More than 5,000 deaths and disappearances during migration across Central and North America and the Caribbean have been recorded since 2014, though many more likely go undocumented.

This briefing provides an overview of data collected in/on the Americas by IOM’s Missing Migrants Project (MMP), which since 2014 has documented deaths and disappearances during migration worldwide.
