Most of the refugees joined the Italian coasts, totaling 85,183. That was more than in the same period a year earlier (71,279), according to the Geneva-based organization on Tuesday.

Substantially fewer migrants went to Greece (9290), Cyprus (273) and Spain (6464). In the run-up to a meeting of Ministers for the Interior of EU countries on Thursday and Friday, the IOM called on Italy to support Italy in the refugee crisis.
