Some 13,000 migrants 13mila
arrived in Italy in August, about half the number that came in
the same month last year, EU border agency Frontex said Tuesday.
It said the majority were Eritreans, as well as from sub-Saharan
countries travelling through Libya. More migrants have taken the
eastern route through Greece lately because of the dangers of
crossing the Mediterranean from Africa to Italy.
