The number of asylum seekers in the European Union has sharply increased
New statistics from the European Union show that the number of asylum seekers in the union has sharply increased
The European Union’s refugee agency has announced that in the year 2023, the number of these individuals has increased by 18 percent compared to the previous year, and one million and one hundred thousand people have sought supportive services
The two non-EU countries, Norway and Switzerland, have also witnessed a similar increase during this period
The rise in the number of asylum seekers’ requests for supportive services is comparable to the peak of the migration crisis in 2015
Germany still has the most applicants for these supports with over 330,000 requests
Afghan and Syrian nationals have made the most requests in this regard
