12pc of migrants who died while crossing the Mediterranean were Bangladeshis

 

More than 1.5 million people were displaced in Bangladesh due to disasters alone in 2022, according to the World Migration Report 2024.

The report, prepared by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), ranks Bangladesh fifth in Asia for disaster-related displacement caused by climate change.

IOM Director General Amy Pope unveiled the report at an event at hotel Sheraton Dhaka in the capital's Banani yesterday.

In her speech, she highlighted that in Bangladesh, factors like climate change, demographic shifts, and global labour demands make up a complex migration landscape. This often leads to migration via irregular pathways and there are countless examples of how irregular migration can make people more vulnerable.
