World: Routes Monitor Key Updates - September 2026

Countries: World, Algeria, Bangladesh, Eritrea, Somalia, Sudan Source: UN High Commissioner for Refugees Please refer to the attached file. Highlights The integration of quarterly land movement estimates provides a more complete understanding of route dynamics. The figures highlight the importance of overland movements along the South and South-East Asia route and improve visibility of the land segment of both Western and Eastern Mediterranean Routes. The indicator should support comparison of how movements are distributed across each route, rather than direct comparison between maritime and land movements totals. Routes recorded lower arrival figures in July, although the scale of the decline varied. Arrivals decreased by 22% on both the Central and Eastern Mediterranean Routes, while recorded movements on the South and South-East Asia Route fell more sharply, from 518 in June to 65 in July. Disembarkation patterns shifted towards the Western Mediterranean Route in July. Disembarkations in the Western Mediterranean increased from 96 in June to 1,320 in July, while Central Mediterranean disembarkations rose by 8% to 2,769. By contrast, Western Africa Atlantic Route disembarkations declined by 52% to 385. Dead or missing people at sea: Most reported deaths and disappearances at sea were recorded along the Western Africa Atlantic Route in July, highlighting the continued risks associated with movements across the Atlantic corridor and the importance of sustained protection monitoring. Nationality patterns shifted across the Mediterranean routes in July 2026. Sudanese and Bangladeshi nationals’ movements on the Eastern Mediterranean Route declined compared with June, largely reflecting lower movements from Libya to Greece. Afghans became relatively more prominent on the Eastern Mediterranean Route, while the Central Mediterranean profile shifted towards Algerians, Bangladeshis, Somalis and Eritreans, with a marked reduction in Sudanese movements.

This snapshot is an overview of the presence of Bangladeshi Nationals in different parts of Europe in 2025 collected from various sources, such as Mixed Migration Flows to Europe, Eurostat, the UK Office of Statistics and DTM Flow Monitoring Survey data. The Flow Monitoring System presents the number of Bangladeshi nationals who arrived by land and sea in Europe and those who transited through the Western Balkan and Eastern Europe region in 2025.

The stock of Bangladeshi nationals residing in Europe by gender and European region are reported by Eurostat and the UK Office of Statistics for those in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK). Finally, the profile of Bangladeshi Nationals in Europe with underlying dynamics of migration are presented by the data from Flow Monitoring Survey (FMS) conducted by DTM Europe in six European countries during 2025. The snapshot is part of the outputs of the European Union (EU) - funded DTM project “Regional Evidence for Migration Analysis and Policy” (REMAP). The objective of DTM REMAP is to strengthen the evidence-based formulation and implementation of humanitarian and development policy and programming on migration and forced displacement.
