Deaths at the Borders of Southern Europe
The database was created by researchers of VU University Amsterdam and is based on official death records of migrants who died at the Southern European borders in the years 1990-2013.
It contains individualized information on 3.188 people who died while attempting to reach southern EU countries from the Balkans, the Middle East, and North & West Africa, and whose bodies were found in or brought to Europe. It is unique because it includes – where known – date and place of death, cause of death, gender, age, country of origin, and whether or not the person was identified.
