Migrants, all the numbers on landings in 2022 and the countries of origin
In 2022, 104,061 migrants arrived in Italy, of which 12,687 were unaccompanied minors. In 2020 there were only 34,134 and 4,687 unaccompanied minors. Numbers, comparisons and comments taken from the report of the Ministry of the Interior
The flows of migrants have started to grow again. After two years of very moderate landings (due to the pandemic) from 1 January 2022 to 30 December 2022, 104,061 migrants landed in our country. Of these, 12,687 are unaccompanied minors.
Here are all the details on the Interior Ministry report.
IN 2022 ALMOST DOUBLE THE MIGRANT LANDINGS OF 2021 AND MORE THAN TRIPLE OF 2020
Those of this year are the highest data of the last three years. In 2020 the landings were limited to 34,134 people and in 2021 to 67,034. Unaccompanied minors in 2020 and 2021 were, respectively, 4,687 and 10,053.
“The reception system in the area is already collapsing – Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi told Repubblica -. The tenders to secure new places are going deserted. The possibility of adequate reception is a question of people's dignity . I find it strange that collective sensitivity stops at the moment of disembarkation while there is no attention to the sustainability of uncontrolled flows that generate marginalization”.
ALL THE LATEST ISSUE
Substantial increases that largely depend on the gradual improvement of the pandemic situation globally. A condition which, thanks to increasingly mild weather, has favored the resumption of travel by ships of human traffickers.
The landings, in fact, were distributed throughout the year with summer peaks (8,152 in June, 13,802 in July, 16,822 in August and 13,533 in September and 13,493 in October) and declines only in February with 2,439 people landed and in March , 1.358. The unusually warm December we experienced facilitated the arrival of 9,720 people, with 4 significant peaks on December 5 and 6, 894 and 866 people, 917 arrivals on December 20 and a tailspin on December 28 with 939 people disembarked .
“An analysis relating to landings highlights a concomitant increase in the presence of ships in the Mediterranean,” Minister Piantedosi told Repubblica .
FROM EGYPT THERE ARE 20,509 PEOPLE LANDED
Most of the people arriving on our coasts are of Egyptian nationality, 20,509, then there is Tunisia, 18,129, Bangladesh, 14,932, Syria, 8,594, and Afghanistan 7,241.
“The activity of the NGOs is decisive for the arrivals from Tripolitania , about a third of the total landings in Italy. From this specific route, 27,264 people arrived in 2021, of whom 8,665 (31.78%) via NGO ships – Minister Piantedosi told Repubblica -. The trend increased further in 2022, with 31,860 immigrants, of which 11,076 with NGO ships (34.76%). This year, NGOs have brought a total of 11,892 people to Italy , of which 11,076 from Tripolitania (93.2%) and only 816 from other regions (6.8%). These data demonstrate how the overall activity of the NGOs is concentrated on that route, with an incentive effect of departures from that area . Furthermore, I don't understand why the aspiration to rescue develops exclusively there”.
NGOs TRANSPORTED 12% OF MIGRANTS
NGOs have brought about 12% of the total migrants landed on Italian territory to our country.
To limit their action, the government has issued a safety decree which provides that humanitarian organizations can carry out a single rescue , immediately informing the authorities, asking for them to land in a safe port and forbidding transfers from one vessel to another . There are also fines of up to 50,000 euros and administrative detention of the ship for two months until confiscation.
