Beim Treffen der Justiz- und Innenminister Anfang kommender Woche in Luxemburg werde kaum eine Einigung zu erreichen sein, hieß es von EU-Diplomaten am Dienstag. Auch ein Durchbruch beim EU-Gipfel Ende Juni in Brüssel sei angesichts der verhärteten Fronten ungewiss. Wegen der dann anstehenden Sommerpause dürfte eine Entscheidung deshalb frühestens im September fallen. read more

The United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) is reporting the arrival of record numbers of refugees on the Greek island of Lesvos, severely straining local reception capacities and the island’s limited resources. A UNHCR spokesperson warned that sea arrivals in the eastern Aegean islands of Greece have been averaging some 600 people a day with half of the total number coming ashore in Lesvos. UNHCR said earlier it would respond to the critical situation by increasing its personnel on the Greek islands. read more

Mehr als 100.000 Menschen hat ihre Flucht seit Beginn dieses Jahres über das Mittelmeer nach Europa gebracht. Das sind bereits etwas mehr als im gleichen Zeitraum im vergangenen Jahr.

An eight-year-old boy from Ivory Coast, who was caught being smuggled into Spain in a suitcase last month, was reunited with his mother on Monday.

Police images of the scanned case shocked many and highlighted the plight of migrants trying to reach Europe. read more

Hungary will take steps to tighten its southern border with Serbia to stem the rising flow of migrants and asylum seekers, officials said Tuesday. A proposal by the governing Fidesz party would allow police at the border to turn back migrants seeking to enter the country illegally. Hungary has received more than 50,000 asylum requests so far this year, compared to 43,000 in 2014 and 2,157 in 2012. Previously, the majority of asylum seekers came from Kosovo. Since March, about 70 percent of them are from Afghanistan, Syria or Iraq. read more

Groups of tourists and locals are providing food and clothing to migrants arriving on the Greek island of Kos. The Greek island, renowned for its beaches and nightlife, is now being described as the new "frontline of Europe's asylum migrant crisis", with thousands of migrants fleeing from the Middle East making the crossing from the Turkish border, which is less than three miles away. It is estimated that around 1,500 migrants have arrived on the island in the last 10 days alone, and the arrival of thousands more are expected as the weather improves. The island's native population is 35,000. read more

In no EU country the processing of asylum procedures takes as long as in Germany. This is shown by a new Bertelsmann study. Some asylum seekers will have to wait up to 18 months on the recognition of their request. During this time their access to the labor market remains virtually closed. read more

“Travelling to discover the world, in search of a better way of life, to join one’s relatives, or seeking freedom… just some of the reasons that drive men, women and children to migrate.” The Migreurop network along with its Belgium member associations invite you to a private view of the exhibition Moving Beyond Borders (MBB). This exhibition, designed by the company Étrange Miroir (Strange Mirror), focuses on migrants’ journeys while pointing out the system that renders their journeys so perilous, whether crossing the Sahara, the Mediterranean or even the Eastern borders of the European Union. read more

Is there room to double the annual intake of refugees in New Zealand? Of course there is. Would New Zealand be able to resettle them well? Of course it is. The 'have we got room for more refugees' discussion of 2015 is almost a carbon copy of what we were arguing back in 1979. The mainly Vietnamese boat people of that time and land refugees from Pol Pot's Cambodia and from Laos were crowded into camps in various parts of South East Asia particularly, Thailand. More than a million people left those three countries in the years 1975 to 1979. read more

A group of Bangladeshi strawberry pickers who were shot and wounded when they asked to be paid have been fined by a Greek court.

UNHCR verstärkt seine Präsenz auf den östlichen ägäischen Inseln von Griechenland, wo in den letzten Wochen aus der Türkei durchschnittlich rund 600 Menschen pro Tag ankommen. Dadurch werden die lokalen Aufnahmekapazitäten stark belastet bzw. fehlen teilweise Kapazitäten völlig. Bis Ende Mai 2015 kamen mehr als 42.000 Menschen auf dem Seeweg nach Griechenland, die meisten von ihnen sind Flüchtlinge. Das ist das Sechsfache im Vergleich zum Vorjahr (6.500) und die Zahl entspricht bereits jetzt knapp den Ankünften für das gesamte Jahr 2014 (43.500). read more
