This article is a list of migrant vessel incidents on the Mediterranean Sea leading up to and resulting from the European migrant crisis with recent migration also related to developments such as the Arab Spring protests (2010–2012), civil wars in Syria (since 2011) and Libya (2014–2020), and emerging conflicts in Sudan, Niger, and Israel and Palestine in 2023.
Over 28,000 people have died or have been declared missing while in migration across the Mediterranean Sea since 2014.[1] The 'Deaths at the Border' project at the University of Amsterdam estimates that a further 3,188 people died while trying to reach Europe between 1990 and 2013.[2]
By comparison, a total of 609 people lost their lives in maritime accidents between 2011 and 2021 which involved vessels registered by European Union countries or other registered vessels in EU waters.[3]
