(ANSAmed) - Brussels, April 18 - Some 9,600 migrants landed
in Italy across the central Mediterranean in March, more than
double the number that came in February, EU border agency
Frontex said Monday. Some 2,283 arrived in March 2015. Most of
this March's migrants came from Nigeria, Somalia and Gambia, it
said. Italy is bracing for a big wave of migrant arrivals across
the sea as the weather improves further, and has proposed a
migration compact to the EU to help stem flows.
