Migrant crisis: Migration to Europe explained in seven
charts
More
than a million had been counted in germany’s “easy” system counting for
counting and distributing people before they make asylum claims.
The vast majority arrived by sea but some migrants have
made their way over land, principally via Turkey and Albania.
Winter has not stemmed the flow of people - with 135,711.
People being reached Europe by sea since the start of 2016, according to the UNHCR.
1.
Which countries are migrants from?
The conflict in Syria continues to be by far the biggest
driver of migration. But the
ongoing violence in Afghanistan and Iraq, abuses in Eritrea, as well as poverty
in Kosovo, are also leading people to look for new lives elsewhere.
2.
Where are migrants going?
Although not all of those arriving in Europe choose to
claim asylum, many do. Germany received the highest number of new asylum
applications in 2015, with more than
476,000.
But far more people have arrived in the country - German
officials said more people have been arrived in the country, German
"EASY" system for counting and distributing people before they make
asylum claims.
Hungary moved into second place for asylum applications,
as more migrants made the journey overland through Greece and the Western
Balkans. It had 177,130 applications by the end of December.
3. How do migrants get to
Europe?
The International Organization for Migration (IOM)
estimates that more than 1,011,700 migrants arrived by sea in 2015, and
almost 34,900 by land.
This compares with 280,000 arrivals by land and sea for
the whole of 2014. The figures do not include those who got in undetected.
The EU's external border force, Frontex, monitors the
different routes migrants use and numbers arriving at Europe's borders and put
the figure crossing into Europe in 2015 at more than 1,800,000.
Most of those heading for Greece take the relatively
short voyage from Turkey to the islands of Kos, Chios, Lesvos and Samos - often
in flimsy rubber dinghies or small wooden boats.
4. How dangerous is the journey?
According
to the IOM, more than 3,770 migrants were reported to have died while trying to
cross the Mediterranean in 2015.
Most died on the crossing from north Africa to Italy, and
more than 800 died in the Aegean crossing from Turkey to Greece.
The summer months are usually when most fatalities occur
as it is the busiest time for migrants attempting to reach Europe.
But in 2015, the deadliest month for migrants was April,
which saw a boat carrying about 800 people capsize in the sea off Libya. Overcrowding is thought to have been one
of the reasons for the disaster.
5. Which European countries are most
affected?
Although Germany has had the most asylum applications in
2015, Hungary had the highest in proportion to its population, despite having
closed its border with Croatia in an attempt to stop the flow in October.
Nearly 1,800 refugees per 100,000 of Hungary's local population claimed
asylum in 2015.
Sweden followed close behind with 1,667 per
100,000.
The figure for Germany was 587 and for the UK it
was 60 applications for every 100,000 residents. The EU average was 260.
6. How has Europe responded?
Tensions
in the EU will have been rising because of the disproportionate burden faced by
some countries, particularly the countries where the
majority of migrants have been arriving: Greece, Italy and Hungary.
In September, EU ministers voted by a
majority to relocate 160,000 refugees EU-wide, but for now the plan will only
apply to those who are in Italy and Greece.
Another 54,000 were to be moved from Hungary, but the Hungarian
government rejected this plan and will instead receive more migrants
from Italy and Greece as part of the relocation scheme.
The UK has opted out of any plans for a quota system but,
according to Home Office figures, 1,000 Syrian refugees were resettled under
the Vulnerable Persons Relocation scheme in 2015. Prime Minister David Cameron
has said the UK will accept up to 20,000 refugees from Syria over the next five
years.
7. How many asylum claims are
approved?
Although huge numbers have been applying for asylum, the
number of people being given asylum is far lower.
In 2015, EU countries offered asylum to 292,540 refugees.
In the same year, more than a million migrants applied for asylum - although
applying for asylum can be a lengthy procedure so many of those given refugee
status may have applied in previous years.
