EU set to provide Egyptian coast guard with €80 million
The EU is set to fund Egypt’s coast guard with 80 million euros in an effort to prevent rising levels of migration across the Mediterranean, according to an internal paper.  The paper alleged that more than 3,500 Egyptians have fled the country so far this year, almost all of them taking the dangerous sea route to Italy.  The number of crossings from Egypt has quadrupled since the same period last year and according to EU figures, Egyptians are now the top nationality for migrants arriving via irregular routes. Rising hunger, stagnating economic growth and widespread concern over human rights abuses are thought to be among the key factors pushing the rise in migration
