聯合國移民組織稱年入歐難民已超百萬

More than 1m refugees and migrants have arrived by land and sea in the European Union this year, the UN refugee agency and the International Organization for Migration said Tuesday.

聯合國難民署和國際移民組織22日表示，今年已有超過100萬難民和移民通過陸路和海路涌入歐盟。

Half of those arriving this year were Syrians escaping the war-torn country, while another 20% were Afghans, and 7% were Iraqis, the two agencies said in a joint statement.

兩機構在聯合聲明中稱，今年涌入歐洲的100多萬移民中，有一半是從戰火紛飛的敘利亞逃離的難民。此外，有20%的移民來自阿富汗，7%的移民來自伊拉克。

Up to 7,000 migrants are currently holed up in the shanty town outside Calais which is called 'The Jungle'. Again the figures do not cover those who entered undetected.

有將近7000名移民目前被安置在法國加萊城外，那裏也被稱爲“移民叢林”。與此同時，這些數字還不包括那些目前尚未被發現的人。

UK Border Force officials foiled 30,629 attempts to cross to Britain illegally between April and July – an annual rate of 92,000. This compares with 39,546 caught in the 12 months of April 2014 to March 2015.

英國邊境部隊官員表示，僅僅是在四月到七月這幾個月內，就已經攔截了30629人次企圖非法進入英國的事件，而今年全年達到了92000人次之多。這一結果也與2014年12月到2015年3月的39546人次形成鮮明對比。

Nearly 3,700 others died trying to cross the Mediterranean on rickety boats.

除此之外，今年有近3700人因乘坐危險小船通過地中海而遇難身亡。
