Vast numbers of migrants have made their way across the Mediterranean to Europe in 2015, sparking a crisis as countries struggle to cope with the influx, and creating division in the EU over how best to deal with resettling people.
How many people are coming?
More than 700,000 migrants are estimated to have arrived by sea so far this year, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), but exact numbers are unclear as some may have passed through borders undetected.
One way to measure where migrants have ended up is through asylum applications. Although not all of those arriving claim asylum, over half a million have done so, according to the EU statistics agency, Eurostat.
Germany continues to be the most popular destination for migrants arriving in Europe. It has received the highest number of new asylum applications, with almost 222,000 by the end of August.
Hungary has moved into second place, as more migrants have tried to make the journey overland through Greece and the Western Balkans. It had 96,350 applications by the end of July.

Well,talk about migrants,I just want to say,''If I am a rich person, I will give them an island to live in, and they can sow their own food at there.'' Also, I think every countries should receive the migrants though there maybe will have some economy problems,I still think people life is the most important things in the world.
回覆刪除These people just need some shuttles, some safe places to stay. These victims must be missing their home, original home. Sadly, destiny made them to leave their place which they familiar with.What's even sad is that other people care too much to help them. How sorrowful! It's good to see that Germany is willing to help victims.
