Migrant movements along the perilous Eastern Route, stretching from the Horn of Africa to the Arabian Peninsula, have seen a sharp rise in 2025. This increase comes despite the growing dangers and a troubling rise in reported deaths along the journey.
Human rights organizations warn that thousands of migrants, many fleeing poverty, conflict, and lack of opportunities, continue to risk their lives on this route. The journey is often marked by dangerous sea crossings, extreme weather conditions, and exposure to human traffickers who exploit vulnerable travelers.
The surge highlights the desperation that continues to drive migration across the region, even as governments and international agencies raise concerns about the humanitarian toll.
This worrying trend underscores the urgent need for stronger protection measures for migrants and a coordinated regional response to address the root causes of migration.
