EU irregular crossings drop 37%
According to preliminary data from the European Border Agency (Frontex), irregular crossings into the European Union have decreased by 37% during the first seven months of 2026, with approximately 61,000 attempts recorded between January and July, compared to the same period in 2025. This decline reflects a reduction in most major migration routes due to security measures implemented by authorities in Tunisia and Libya, with a 64% decrease along the central route, which remains the most active. In contrast, crossings have increased on other routes such as the Eastern Mediterranean by 57% and West Africa by 154%, indicating a shift in migration patterns, with Syria, Mali, and Afghanistan ranking as the most common nationalities involved in these movements.
