In the ‘‘UNITED List of Refugee Deaths’’ (download pdf), UNITED has been collecting reliable data on refugee deaths related to Fortress Europe since 1993. In the period 1993-2024 at least 60.620 documented refugee deaths can be attributed to the ‘Fatal Policies of Fortress Europe’. Ten thousands more are never found.
The list summarises information on where, when, and under which circumstances they died. On all death cases, further documentation is kept in the archive. The data are collected through own research, information received from the 550 network organisations in 48 countries and from local experts, journalists, and researchers in the field of migration. Compiled in the ‘UNITED List of Refugee Deaths’ they add up to an impressive listing and a strong campaign statement: No More Deaths – Time For Change!
An updated list is annually published in the first week of June.
For researchers and media, a more detailed and searchable list (xls format) is available on request.
