Irregular migration into EU drops sharply in 2024, EU border agency says

  • Irregular migration into the European Union has dropped sharply in 2024, with a 38-percent decrease in crossings, marking the lowest level since 2021 according to Frontex.
  • The decline was driven by a 59-percent drop in crossings via the Central Mediterranean and a 78-percent decrease along the Western Balkans route, as reported by Frontex.
  • The Canary Islands saw an 18-percent increase in arrivals, reaching nearly 47,000, the highest since Frontex began tracking data in 2009.
  • Despite the decrease, migration pressures persist, and Frontex has emphasized the need for ongoing vigilance and adaptability in addressing border challenges.
