IOM: 350,000 Migrants Have Fled to Europe This Year Print
More Than 350,000 Migrants Have Fled to Europe This Year VOA News Last updated on: September 01, 2015 2:35 PM
The International Organization for Migration said Tuesday that more than 350,000 migrants have made the perilous journey across the Mediterranean this year, fleeing turmoil and poverty in the Mideast and Africa in search of a better life in Europe.
The intergovernmental agency said more than 234,000 of them landed on the shores of Greece, with another 114,000 migrants arriving in Italy, and much smaller numbers in Spain and Malta. About 2,600 have died, often drowning when rickety, overcrowded boats operated by human traffickers have sunk.
The latest figures came as Europe continued to cope with one of its biggest stream of migrants since World War II.
A spokesman for the United Nations refugee agency, Babar Baloch, told VOA, "All the countries have their own responsibility to deal with this crisis." Several countries, however, are seeking to block the influx, or limit it.

In Hungary, authorities shut down and then reopened Budapest's main train station. But hundreds of migrants, mostly from conflict-ridden areas of the Middle East, were left stranded outside, with many of them pleading with authorities to let them board trains headed to Austria and Germany.
Hungary is one of the main migrant entry points to the European Union, with more than 156,000 arriving this year.
Budapest is erecting a lengthy border fence on its southern border with Serbia, however, to keep more of them out. Defense Minister Csaba Hende told lawmakers that 3,500 soldiers could be sent to the border to cope with the migrant crisis, but deadly force would not be authorized.
Hundreds of police escorted the migrants out of Budapest's Eastern Railway station and blocked their reentry, after an announcement over the loudspeakers ordered all passengers to evacuate.
There were no reports of clashes, unlike earlier in the day, when hundreds tried to board a Vienna-bound train but were blocked by police.
After being pushed out, the migrants congregated outside the station, where they have set up makeshift camps. Some chanted "Freedom! Freedom!" or "Germany! Germany!" — the preferred destination for many.
Austrian authorities say a total of 3,650 migrants arrived in Vienna on Monday. It was the biggest daily total this year and the latest in a staggering wave of people seeking asylum in the European Union.
When asked why officials had closed the station and stopped the flow of migrants, a Hungarian government spokesman said officials are trying to adhere to EU law.
Under EU rules, migrants must seek asylum in the first country they enter. That means Hungary is technically prevented from allowing the migrants from passing on to Austria and Germany.
The inconsistent application of the rules has left many of the migrants in limbo, since many have neither the necessary documents nor the money to purchase train tickets.
On Tuesday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel called on European countries to quickly come up with a joint asylum policy, which she said would include setting up migrant registration centers at crucial transit points.
"We agree that the EU Commission should define safe countries of origin and that registration centers be set up in Italy and Greece as part of an EU joint effort," the German leader said at a joint news conference with Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.
While acknowledging that war refugees and others with a "persecuted background" must be "allocated in Europe," Merkel stressed that those coming for economic reasons must be sent back to their countries.
Germany has accepted more refugees than any other European country, a total that could reach 800,000 by the end of the year.
If the Nazis had this many troops in Sicily/Italy they'd held the southern flank.
Nobody wants them, not even the Saudis. The majority of refugees have already been tainted by their acceptance of the many barbarities of radical Islam. Some more tainted than others. Maybe it will still work out. Maybe, just maybe the majority will want to live peacefully.
When birds MIGRATE, they go between two places.
Whence they come they eventually go BACK.
Where are these people GOING BACK to..?
Nowhere.
Fleeing war? They’re fleeing WORK.
Better to let sucker honkies work FOR them.
and these migrants don't migrate to other muslime hellholes because??? wait, nevermind
Then they can kick 150,000 out and be down to the 200,000 the UN wants them to take in.
And how soon will the Europeans flee Europe?
billions more will be coming from Asia eventually.
This is the end folks.
Yep, great novel. Read it in college in the 70’s. The end of the white, christian world. Self-destruction due to liberal, leftism and socialism, white guilt and spinelessness. Spit. Start killing the invaders now to slow the flow and corraling the rest for deportation or Europe is through. The others are probing our borders and plan to do the same thing (already going on). The chinese will do the same to the russians, wait and see......
Perhaps people will begin to connect the dots behind the Hillary Clinton goal to remove gatekeeper Muammar Gaddafi
Maybe people will begin to understand the Rivkin Project
Maybe, just maybe, people will awaken to why the EU was willing to pay Gaddafi €5 Billion to keep the North African migration under control.
Bill Warner explains this sudden mass migration is doctrinal Islam:
It's called the hijrahALL ISLAMIC IMMIGRATION has a hidden political agenda.
We see this in the very calendar that Islam uses. The Islamic calendar does not begin with the revelation of the qur'an, nor the birth of Mohammad. Instead, the Islamic calendar begins when Mohammad migrated from Mecca to Medina. Why pick this date out? Because it was the beginning of the success of Islam. It marked the beginning of political Islam.
Mohammad preached the religion Islam for thirteen years in Mecca and persuaded only 150 Arabs to become Muslims. However, when he left Mecca and went to Medina, he 'migrated' from one to the other, he became a politician and jihadist and, ten years later, when he died, EVERY Arab was a Muslim. That is to say, migration began the process of becoming political. And with politics and jihad, came success to Islam. Know this: Every Muslim is commanded in ninety-one verses in the qur'an to emulate Mohammad in everything that he said and everything that he did. So this means that the Muslim is to imitate Mohammad and therefore, when he enters into a new host country, a poltical process begins. This political process starts with, "Well, we're Muslims and our religion means that we need to have special rooms for prayer, have special food, halal, whatever. Their demands that our clothing be different."
Islam begins the process of pulling away from the host country, and saying, We must be different because we are Muslims."
You need to know that every Muslim is not an individual, but actually is part of an Ummah, a larger body; the community of Islam. Within this community there are leaders who are the activists. Every member of the Ummah is commanded to obey his leaders. This makes Islam a very powerful politial block.
Islam starts immigration, it starts a political process and Islamizing the host country. This is what makes it very different from any other form of immigration.
