About 10,000 Refugee Minors Disappear After Arriving to Europe
According to Europol, there are some 270,000 children among the refugees, who arrived in the European countries from the crisis-torn countries in 2015. Dozens of thousands of these minors were unaccompanied by adults and disappeared. Their fate sparked concerns in the 28-nation block as they could become victims of human traffickers.
He added that some 5,000 of refugee children disappeared in Italy and about 1,000 in Sweden.
The European Union is currently struggling to manage the massive refugee crisis, with hundreds of thousands of people leaving their countries of origin in the Middle East and North Africa for Europe. Over 1.83 million illegal border crossings have been detected by the EU border agency Frontex during 2015.
