Since 2014, more than 9,700 persons have lost their lives or gone missing in the Americas trying to migrate. The U.S.-Mexico border is the most deadly route, as 5,420 migrants have been recorded dead or missing trying to cross it. The real figures of deaths and missing are expected to be considerably higher, as the source warns about the difficulties and challenges of collecting this data, especially in Mexico, the Darien Gap, and maritime routes.
