On Friday, the United Nations (UN) urged the globe to develop an orderly migration strategy to prevent the deaths of migrants escaping violence and poverty.

The WHO issued the warning on Friday, after a truck went over on the US-Mexico border, killing scores of illegal migrants.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) stated that these regretful instances occur despite appeals for real international action to minimize the tragic number of migrant deaths.

In the deadliest occurrence for this vulnerable population in Mexico since 2014, at least 54 undocumented Central Americans perished and over 100 were wounded.

According to news reports displaying photographs of the fatalities, migrants were jammed into the trailer of the truck when it allegedly went over on a steep bend.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) underlined the everyday hazards faced by millions of individuals seeking a better life outside of their home nations, adding that "we can do more for them."

This year, 651 individuals died attempting to reach the United States' southern border, the highest number since 2014. According to UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric, "this new event serves as a reminder for the world and member nations to agree on an international migration plan that is controlled and managed."

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) cautioned that the number of fatalities and disappearances on numerous migration routes throughout the world rose in 2021, notably in Europe and America, and that the number of deaths globally in 2021 already exceeds the 4,236 documented in 2020.
