    The majority of migrants have been fleeing from Syria due to the ongoing civil war and heading to Italy and Greece by boats arranged by criminal gangs. Thousands have died in unsafe crossings. While many are from Syria, others are fleeing poverty from countries like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya. Most migrants then try to claim asylum in Germany or the UK rather than the first European country they enter as required. The increased flows have overwhelmed European leaders who struggle with how to handle the large-scale crisis.

    Italys Migrant Crisis

    What has been happening?

    In 2015 There has been a


    massive increase in the
    number of migrants
    escaping hardship and
    traveling to Europe.

    They hope that by arriving


    in Italy and Greece they
    will be able to move to a
    new life in Germany or
    Northern Europe

    Criminal gangs have been charging


    thousands of Euros to help them cross
    the Mediterranean

    The crossings are mostly on unsuitable boats and the


    criminal gangs dont seem to care whether they live or
    die

    Thousands have died and Europes leaders seem


    unsure how to deal with this crisis

    Where are they from?

    The majority of migrants have been fleeing from Syria which


    has been in a state of civil war for 4 years. However some are
    fleeing poverty and looking for a better life rather than actually
    escaping persecution

    Where do
    they go?

    However

    Refugees are expected to claim asylum in the first


    safe country thy enter.

    However many migrants are refusing to claim asylum


    in Greece, Italy or Hungary. Instead they would prefer
    to do this in Germany or the UK.

    Timeline of events

    In 2011 the
    Syrian civil War
    begins as
    many as 200,000
    people have
    been killed

    There has also


    been unrest in
    Iraq, Afghanistan
    and Libya

    In April over
    100,000 people had
    crossed the
    Mediterranean.

    Many boats were


    capsizing and
    European countries
    were asked to
    provide naval
    patrols

    Costs on a refugee
    35 euros are given to refugee centers for a refugee per
    day.
    These costs are supposed to cover the food, rent for
    the shelter and management of the shelter etc.
    Out of this assigned amount, a refugee gets just 2.5
    euros to spend per day.
    No right to work until asylum granted, or during first six
    months, whichever comes first.
