MIXED MIGRATION FLOWS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN Compilation of Available Data and Information October 2019
In response to the arrival of almost one million migrants and refugees from the Middle East and Africa through the Eastern Mediterranean route in the second half of 2015 and the first three months of 2016, the European Union (EU) and Turkey agreed on a plan to end irregular migration flows from Turkey to the EU on 18 March 2016. The document states that from 20 March 2016 all persons who do not have a right to international protection in Greece will be returned to Turkey, based on the Readmission Agreement from 2002 signed between the countries (the whole document is available here). At the same time, it was agreed to facilitate the resettlement of Syrian refugees from Turkey to many European countries (European Economic Area, EEA). The total number of Syrian refugees resettled so far, between April 2016 and October 2019, is 28,590.
Figure 4: Number of Syrian refugees resettled from Turkey to Europe (EEA) between April 2016 and October 2019.9
9 The figure includes the number of refugees from the Syrian Arab Republic assisted by IOM Turkey through the 1:1 resettlement scheme as well as other bilateral programs.

Since the beginning of the year, 404 single landing events where reported by Italian authorities. Most recorded disembarkations took place in Sicily (62% of the total) and particularly in Lampedusa and Pantelleria. The remaining number of events were registered in Sardinia (Porto Pino, Sant’Antioco, Cagliari), Apulia (Leuca, Gallipoli) and Calabria (Crotone e Roccella Jonica).
No official estimate on the number of migrants entering Italy by land and air is provided by Italian authorities. Nevertheless, according to media reports and IOM operations in the North of Italy, there is a continuous flow of migrants and refugees entering Italy by land in Trieste and Gorizia from Slovenia. The main reported nationalities of migrants entering Italy by land are Pakistan and Afghanistan.
It is well reported by media and organizations in the field, including IOM, that some migrants try to exit the country and reach other European destinations. Ventimiglia consistently remains the most popular transit place for migrants and refugees who are trying to cross the border with France, followed by Bardonecchia (Italy/France), Como (Italy/Switzerland) and, to a lesser extent, Bolzano (Italy/Austria).

Relocation within Europe
After the closure of the EU relocation mechanism, IOM supports Italian authorities in the procedures to relocate some of the migrants and refugees arriving by sea to other EU countries. In 2019, the relocation of 107 asylum seekers of various nationalities was made possible through bilateral ad-hoc agreements between Italian and French authorities.
So far in 2019, IOM has also assisted the transfer of 28 children to the United Kingdom within the framework of the DUBS project. Since the beginning of the project (April 2018), a total of 41 children were transferred to the UK with IOM support.
Resettlement and Humanitarian Corridors
IOM Italy manages a resettlement program financed by the Ministry of Interior, under which 383 refugees were assisted so far in 2019: 74 per cent of them are nationals from the Syrian Arab Republic with the rest being from Sudan, Eritrea,16 Ethiopia and others. Departures took place from Lebanon, Jordan, Sudan and Libya.
Over the past three years, a consortium of faith-based organizations has been organizing self-funded humanitarian corridors in agreement with the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Italian Ministry of Interior. A total of more than 2,700 migrants and refugees have been admitted in Italy since February 2016, with beneficiaries granted reception and integration services by the promoting organizations.
Humanitarian corridors and evacuations from Libya to Italy assisted by other UN agencies have also been registered during the reporting period.
16 The information on nationality breakdown provided in this report is based on the nationality declared by migrants as reported by the Italian MOI.
Migrants in reception centres
According to the data provided by the Italian Ministry of Interior, the total number of migrants hosted in reception centres of various types throughout the country is 96,862 in October 2019. This is a 34 per cent decrease compared to October 2018. Out of the total, 25 per cent of migrants and refugees are hosted in second-level reception centres (SIPROIMI) while the rest are hosted in first-level reception centres (hotspots, former CARA, CAS, etc.).
The number of migrants and refugees in reception is decreasing due to the decrease in arrivals and to legislative changes which have also affected the criteria to be granted a shelter in the reception system.
The number of unaccompanied migrant children in dedicated reception facilities is also decreasing. According to the Ministry of Labour and Social Policies, around 6,789 UASC were in reception at the end of September 2019 (the most recent available data), which represents a 44 per cent decrease compared to September 2018 (12,112). Children coming from Albania, Egypt, Pakistan, Côte d’Ivoire and the Gambia represent 53 per cent of all children registered and present in residential or family care.

the flow monitoring points. Data on nationalities is cross-checked with official authorities in Albania.
Developments during the reporting period
During this reporting period (1–31 October33) authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina reported 3,704 new irregular migrants, a 4 per cent increase compared to the previous month when 3,552 arrivals were reported, and 15 per cent less than the 4,352 reported in October 2018. The average number of migrants arriving each week since the beginning of the year is 597, ranging from 141 in the first week of January to 1,016 in the first week of July.
Between January and October 2019, 25,675 new arrivals have been reported. This is 26 per cent more than the 20,421 reported in the same period last year and significantly higher than the 762 reported in the same period of 2017.
The most commonly reported nationality of individuals entering Bosnia and Herzegovina between January and October 2019 was Pakistan (36%), followed by Afghanistan (13%), Bangladesh (8%), Iraq (8%), the Syrian Arab Republic (7%) and others (28%). October 2019 is the first month since March 2018 where nationals of Pakistan were not the most frequently reported amongst apprehended migrants. Between February and October 2018,34 nationals of Pakistan were also the most frequent (34%), followed by migrants and refugees from the Islamic Republic of Iran (16%), Afghanistan (12%), the Syrian Arab Republic (11%), Iraq (9%) and others (18%).
33 Statistics on arrivals are sent out weekly by the Bosnian authorities. According to the country’s UN Inter-agency reporting system in the country, the week 28 Oct – 3 Nov falls under the October reporting month. However, for reasons of time and accuracy, the present DTM Flows Compilation Report includes data between 01 and 27 October only.
34 Nationality data for January 2018 is not available, hence the summary refers to the period between February and August 2018.

Syrians under Temporary Protection
Turkey’s temporary protection regime grants the 3,680,603* Syrian nationals the right to legally stay in Turkey as well as some level of access to basic services. The vast majority - 3,617,930* individuals - lives outside of formal camps, known astemporary accommodation centers, thus primarily residing across the Turkish border provinces of Hatay, Adana and Kilis. As such, only 62,673* Syrians live in formal camps, the majority of which are located close to the Syrian border. Compared to October 2018 when 14 temporary accommodation centers were hosting migrants in Turkey, only seven remain operational with seven no longer in service. As a result, 94,842 fewer Syrians currently reside in the centers.
*Data source DGMM, 31.10.2019
Background and Latest Figures
According to the latest available figures from the Turkish Directorate General of Migration Management (DGMM), there are currently over 4 million foreign nationals present in Turkish territory seeking international protection. Most are Syrians (3,680,603* individuals) who are granted temporary protection status. In addition, asylum-seekers and refugees from countries including Afghanistan, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Iraq and Somalia constitute another significant group of foreign nationals. According to UNHCR, as of end of February 2019, there are 368,230** asylum-seekers and refugees present in Turkey. The number of foreign nationals has increased by 88,889 in comparison to October 2018 (3.9 million foreign nationals), with most of the increase recorded among Syrian nationals (88,889).
In addition, there are 1,070,144* foreign nationals present in Turkey holding residency permits, including humanitarian residency holders. Compared to Ocotber 2018, this is an increase of 296,758 individuals. The exact number of humanitarian residency holders is unknown, but it is estimated that there are more than several thousand humanitarian residency permit holders.

LIBYADevelopments during the reporting period
Between January and October 2019, 99 incidents were reported by the Libyan Coast Guard in which a total of 8,323 migrants were returned to Libya; 200 migrants are estimated to have died or gone missing during the same reporting period.
Available data for 2019 indicate a 21 per cent decrease in the number of reported operations this year compared to the same period in 2018, when 126 operations were reported and a 23 per cent decrease when compared to 128 operations reported at the end of October 2017. The number of returned migrants as of October 2019 (8,323) is 42 per cent less than the 14,382 returned in the same period last year, and 50 per cent less than the 16,684 returned to Libya between January and October 2017.
The estimated number of dead and missing migrants between January and October 2019 (200) is significantly lower than the 456 estimated to have died in front of
Libyan shores between January and October 2018 (56% less), and 84 per cent less than the 1,288 reported to have gone missing in the same period of 2017. The proportion of those reported to have died in the first nine months of 2019 calculated as a share of those returned over the same period has also slightly decreased in comparison to the same period last year, from 3.8% to 2.4%.
A more complete estimation of the relative risk of those departing from Libya to reach Europe in terms of dead and missing migrants should also take into consideration the reported arrivals in Italy and Malta and the dead and missing migrants reported along the whole Central Mediterranean route.

NIGERDuring October 2019, a total of 51,356 individuals were observed transiting through the seven active Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) in Niger,44 an average of 1,657 individuals per day and of which 68 per cent were adult males, 20 per cent were adult females, and 12 per cent were children. This daily average is a 17 per cent increase on the daily average of September 2019 (1,566 per day and a total of 48,553). The main reasons cited for movement in October 2019 have been economic migration, seasonal migration, and short-term local movement (in descending order).
A daily average of 419 individuals were recorded leaving Niger whilst a daily average of 365were recorded entering. Most of these movements were observed in Arlit (32%) and Dan Barto (25%). Some ingoing and outgoing movements were also recorded at Dan Issa (14%) and Séguédine/Madama (12%) whilst movements registered at Magaria (11%) and Tahoua (6%) were mostly internal (more here).

INTRODUCTION: IOM works with national and local authorities, and local partners to identify andunderstand migration movements in West and Central Africa. Flow monitoring is an activity thatquantifies and qualifies flows, migrant profiles, trends and migration routes at a given point of entry, transit orexit. The data collected provides an overview of migration in the region. Since February 2016, IOMNiger has been monitoring migration flows at six points across Niger. Given the immensity of theregion of Agadez, a new FMP (Madama) on the Libyan border was activated in January 2019 tocapture the outflows due to the proliferation of bypass roads. This new FMP complements the SéguédineFMP which currently only captures incoming flows. The data collected provides an overview of migratorymovements in the region.
In addition to the three FMPs (Dan Barto,Magaria and Tahoua) activated in August2018, a new FMP was also set up in Niger(Dan Issa) in September 2018. Theaim was to better understand migrationroutes along the southern part of Niger,and to complement the existing FMPs inArlit and Séguédine. The FMP at Tahouawas set up to understand internalmovement flows as it is situated in centralNiger. The Tahoua region borders Tillaberyregion in the east, Nigeria in the south andthe Agadez region in the north. MadamaFMP is located at the border betweenLibya and Niger.
METHODOLOGY: Flow monitoring is an investigative tool that aims to highlight further understanding ofinternal, cross-border and intraregional migration. Areas of high mobility are identified across the country.DTM teams then conduct assessments at the local level to identify strategic transit points. Enumeratorscollect data using key informants at the Flow Monitoring Points; they may be staff at bus stations, police orcustoms officials, bus or truck drivers, or migrants themselves. A basic questionnaire mixed with directobservations makes it possible to collect disaggregated data by gender and nationality. In Niger, the FlowMonitoring Points were chosen after consultation with national and local stakeholders involved in migrationmanagement, and according to the locations and characteristics of the flows transiting through the SaharaDesert. The data collection is done at times when the flows are the most frequent.
LIMITATIONS: The data used in this analysis, including the maps, is an estimate and represents only a partof the existing flows on the migration routes passing through the country. The spatial and temporal coverageof these surveys is partial, although the collection is done daily and during periods when flows are significant.Finally, no information is collected on existing flows outside the times covered. Vulnerability data is based ondirect observations by the enumerators and should be understood only as an estimate.

INTRODUCTION: IOM works with national and local authorities, and local partners to identify andunderstand migration movements in West and Central Africa. Flow monitoring is an activity thatquantifies and qualifies flows, migrant profiles, trends and migration routes at a given point of entry, transit orexit. The data collected provides an overview of migration in the region. Since February 2016, IOMNiger has been monitoring migration flows at six points across Niger. Given the immensity of theregion of Agadez, a new FMP (Madama) on the Libyan border was activated in January 2019 tocapture the outflows due to the proliferation of bypass roads. This new FMP complements the SéguédineFMP which currently only captures incoming flows. The data collected provides an overview of migratorymovements in the region.
In addition to the three FMPs (Dan Barto,Magaria and Tahoua) activated in August2018, a new FMP was also set up in Niger(Dan Issa) in September 2018. Theaim was to better understand migrationroutes along the southern part of Niger,and to complement the existing FMPs inArlit and Séguédine. The FMP at Tahouawas set up to understand internalmovement flows as it is situated in centralNiger. The Tahoua region borders Tillaberyregion in the east, Nigeria in the south andthe Agadez region in the north. MadamaFMP is located at the border betweenLibya and Niger.
METHODOLOGY: Flow monitoring is an investigative tool that aims to highlight further understanding ofinternal, cross-border and intraregional migration. Areas of high mobility are identified across the country.DTM teams then conduct assessments at the local level to identify strategic transit points. Enumeratorscollect data using key informants at the Flow Monitoring Points; they may be staff at bus stations, police orcustoms officials, bus or truck drivers, or migrants themselves. A basic questionnaire mixed with directobservations makes it possible to collect disaggregated data by gender and nationality. In Niger, the FlowMonitoring Points were chosen after consultation with national and local stakeholders involved in migrationmanagement, and according to the locations and characteristics of the flows transiting through the SaharaDesert. The data collection is done at times when the flows are the most frequent.
LIMITATIONS: The data used in this analysis, including the maps, is an estimate and represents only a partof the existing flows on the migration routes passing through the country. The spatial and temporal coverageof these surveys is partial, although the collection is done daily and during periods when flows are significant.Finally, no information is collected on existing flows outside the times covered. Vulnerability data is based ondirect observations by the enumerators and should be understood only as an estimate.

Incoming Internal Outgoing
The ups and downs in the internal flows observed may be linked to the movements of shopkeepers and villagers who crisscross the various rural and weekly markets that are close to the FMP.The peaks in the outgoing flows could be related to the departure in convoys for the crossing of the desert and the movements of the Nigerien traders who generally go to the market of Kano in Nigeria on Wednesdays inorder to pay products of basic needs that they come to sell at the Niger before going back to order new ones . In contrast, the incoming flows remained more or less constant throughout the month of October 2019

DTM Europe
In 2015, DTM established a Flow Monitoring System to gather and disseminate information about the migrant populations moving through the Mediterranean, up the Western Balkan Route and through the Northern Route into Europe. This includes monthly flows compilation reports,quarterly regional overviews and datasets on migration flows in countries of first arrival and other countries along the route in Europe. All data is collated by IOM through consultations with ministries of interior, coast guards, police forces and other relevant national authorities, and it is displayed and regularly updated on the IOM’s Flow Monitoring Europe Geoportal.
The DTM system also includes flow monitoring surveys to capture additional and more in-depth data on the people on the move, including age, sex, areas of origin, levels of education, key transit points on their route, motives and intentions. The questionnaire also has a module with a set of questions on human trafficking, exploitative practices and abuse, including two indicators on sexual and physical violence. The analyses of data collected since 2015 is also available on the Flow Monitoring Europe Geoportal.
