Hundreds of migrants are vanishing in the Mediterranean. Authorities are withholding information The beginning of 2026 ranks as the deadliest start to any year for people trying to cross the Mediterranean. But the true count may be even higher.

The start of 2026 is the deadliest the Mediterranean has seen in years.

More refugees than ever are dying on their journeys to safety. Their families are left with nothing - no answers, no accountability, no body to grieve.

This can't go on. #SafeRoutesNow

Boat carrying migrants capsizes in Croatia, killing at least 1 person Croatian authorities say at least one migrant died and several were injured when their boat capsized on the Sava river early on Thursday.

Boat carrying *people* capsizes in Croatia, killing at least 1 person #SafeRoutesNow

Those attending the conference today will say at some point that the reason they combat smugglers is because they don’t want people to die on their way to Europe. But the real question is: what are they providing instead for people seeking protection?

#SafeRoutesNOW!

After the Greek Coast Guard found 17 bodies off Crete, a body of a 12-year-old child was found after he was struck by a boat propeller while reaching the Greek island of Samos.

#SafeRoutesNow #PeopleNotMigrants

📣People aren’t dying at Europe’s borders by accident; they’re dying because the system is built to prioritise deterrence over protection. When safe and legal routes are blocked, death becomes the only route left.

I’m not a desperate person struggling to come to the UK so I won’t be asked to hand over my grandmother’s engagement and wedding rings, nor the bracelet that I haven’t taken off for nearly 40 years. What savagery is this? Shame on you #Labour create #saferoutesnow

It’ll #StopTheBoats to use a well-used slogan

Over 1,000 women, men and children have died trying to cross the Mediterranean to reach Europe.

They dreamed of safety, carried hopes and fears but were left with no choice but to risk their lives on a deadly journey for protection and a better life.

#SafeRoutesNow

Nobody should be above the law

Seven military personnel are to be tried for their part in the drowning of 21 refugees in the Channel along with 11 civilians who assisted and enabled the fatal trip to the U.K.

Another tragedy in the Mediterranean: 50 people dead.

#SafeRoutesNOW!

Yesterday, a woman died in the Mediterranean as a result of the EU's restrictive policies.

Today, the EU commemorates Jina Mahsa Amini, who was killed after suffering physical abuse in Iranian custody.

Four lives lost in attempt to cross Channel to UK!

Tragedy strikes as four, including two children, perish in desperate Channel crossings within 24 hours. French authorities report a surge in attempts, with 1,097 reaching the UK on Sunday alone.

A day after a woman died crossing the Channel to the U.K.

#StopTheBoats - stop the deaths

We need #SafeRoutesNow not performative cruelty and empty words from the government

This is not the solution to alleviating pressures on overstretched local authorities. This is a cruel separation of families for the sake of political point scoring that continues to embolden the far right.

#SafeRoutesNow #RefugeesWelcome

3/3

There is nothing illegal about coming to the U.K. on a boat, or by any other means (unless you as an individual have been banned by the government)

Seeking asylum isn’t illegal

It is important that we as progressives keep reminding others

In 2025 - 31 asylum seekers have died seeking to come to the UK

Last night a young man was found dead near a camp where he stayed as he was tried to come here

Another wasted life because of the politicking on the Channel border

It’s time to allow proper #SafeRoutesNow

Here’s an idea, Starmer: why don’t you make safe routes? Because right now the only way people can reach the UK to claim asylum is to come here ‘illegally’—crossing in small boats, risking their lives. Threats don’t save anyone; safe passage does. Stop parroting Farage!

#FuckLabour #SafeRoutesNow

🔔Reminder: Had safe routes been provided for those in need of protection, countless lives could have been saved, and the cruel business of human smuggling would never have thrived.

Three sisters drown in migrant boat in Mediterranean, rescuers say There was "sheer horror" when survivors realised that the girls aged nine, 11 and 17 had died, a rescuer says.

Three young sisters, aged 9, 11, and 17, drowned in the Mediterranean Sea just one month after World Drowning Prevention Day, while attempting the perilous crossing from Libya to Italy.

🔔These tragedies are preventable. #SafeRoutesNow!

Intensive search for three people missing after small boat capsizes off Mallorca The alarm was raised on Wednesday morning by a private boat. One person was found dead by rescuers.

Ah yes, let’s “tackle” the people fleeing war and picking up the NHS shifts no one else will. Not the far-right lies. Not the media bile. Not the politicians chasing Reform votes. Immigration isn’t the crisis — our moral compass is. Shameful stuff.
