The number of migrant
arrivals in Italy via the central Mediterranean route fell by
over two-thirds in September compared to the same month last
year, dropping to to 5,600, Frontex said Wednesday.
The number rose on the previous month, however, due to higher
levels of migrants arriving from the Tunisian and Algerian
coasts, reported the EU border agency. The total number of
arrivals in the first nine months of the year was about 104,800,
21% fewer than in the same period of the previous year.
