On the run across the Mediterranean

Wieder einmal befindet sich ein Schiff, das Migranten im Mittelmeer rettet, in der Schwebe auf See. Die maltesischen und italienischen Behörden verweigern dem Schiff „Lifeline“ mit 220 Flüchtlingen an Bord das Anlegen in ihren Häfen. Beide Länder haben bereits vor zwei Wochen ihre Häfen für ein Schiff mit rund 630 Flüchtlingen an Bord geschlossen. Der neue italienische Innenminister Matteo Salvini ordnete an, dass das Schiff „Aquarius“ nicht in italienische Häfen einlaufen darf, da der Inselstaat Malta dafür verantwortlich sei. Malta lehnte ab.

The newly elected Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez then offered the ship refuge in Spain. As our infographic based on Data from the United Nations Refugee Agency UNHCR shows that the number of people arriving in Europe via the Mediterranean has fallen since its peak in 2015. Spain has overtaken Italy this year (as at the end of June) and has received the most arrivals by sea. The number of people arriving in Greece has decreased in recent years, as an agreement between the EU and Turkey is in place to stop migration via this route. The UNHCR estimates that more than 16,300 people were missing or presumed dead on the Mediterranean route alone between 2014 and June 2018.
