英国、法国和德国的内政部长呼吁欧盟各国内政和司法部长在未来两周内举行特别会议,应对欧洲大陆不断升级的移民危机。

三国的内政部长在星期天的声明中说,他们希望找到“具体步骤”,解决不断加剧的移民困境。

本月早些时候,面对每天约3000名移民从希腊涌向其边境以进入西欧国家的马其顿宣布进入紧急状态。

联合国估计,今年为了摆脱贫困和暴力已经有30万移民从中东、非洲和南亚逃到欧洲。

已经有数百名非法移民在地中海淹死。有关当局预计,从海上以及陆地偷渡者的死亡人数还会增加。

The interior ministers of Britain, France and Germany have called for a special meeting of European Union interior and justice ministers within the next two weeks to deal with the continent's escalating migrant crisis.

The ministers said in a statement Sunday they want to find "concrete steps" to solve the growing migrant dilemma.

Macedonia declared a state of emergency earlier this month in response to daily border crossings from Greece of some 3,000 migrants pushing toward western European countries.

The United Nations estimates 300,000 migrants from the Middle East, Africa and South Asia have fled to Europe this year to escape poverty and violence.

Hundreds have drowned in the Mediterranean, and authorities expect those tolls, as well as fatalities from land smuggling, to rise.
