According to the UN refugee agency UNHCR, around 186,000 people have already arrived in Europe via the Mediterranean Sea this year. Most of these, 130,000, were registered in Italy, representing an increase of 83 percent compared to the same period last year. The director of the UNHCR office in New York, Ruven Menikdiwela, said this at the UN Security Council on Thursday.

The number of missing and dead people was more than 2,500 people in the period from early January to September 24, it was said. The international migration organization IOM recently spoke of more than 2,700 dead and missing people.

Most migrants leave from Tunisia
According to the United Nations, the largest number of migrants left Tunisia, with more than 100,000, followed by Libya with more than 45,000. In addition to Italy, the boats also went to Greece, Spain, Cyprus and Malta. The sharp increase in migration numbers has recently led to tensions within the EU over measures to limit them.
