A total 27,850 migrants and refugees landed in Europe in the first 89
days of this year, of whom 23,125 reached Italy, the UN migration agency
International Organisation for Migration said on Friday.
Although
the overall arrivals were a fraction of those in the same period of
2016 (165,697), 7,000 more people reached Italy by sea, the IOM figures
showed.
The number of people who died on the perilous route from
North Africa to Italy also climbed - to 595 from 346 last year -
although overall there were 85 fewer deaths in the Mediterranean,
according to the IOM.
As recently as on Thursday, one migrant's
body was recovered and five were missing after a German ship rescued 141
people from a rubber dinghy off Libya that had begun to take on water
and was sinking slowly, IOM reported.
Over 1,000 people landed in
Italy on Thursday, arrivals that were not included in the data for this
year up to 29 March, IOM said.
