The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees says Syrians and Eritreans were by far the biggest groups among migrants and asylum seekers making the risky crossing of the Mediterranean Sea last year to seek refuge in Europe. This is its breakdown of the nationalities of those who arrived between January and October 2014, when the agency counted roughly 200,000 people who landed in southern Europe. It does not include those who died or disappeared while crossing:
Syrians: 31 percent
Eritreans: 18 percent
Afghans: 5 percent
Malians: 5 percent
Nigerians: 4 percent
Gambians: 3 percent
Somalis: 3 percent
Palestinians: 3 percent
Bangladeshis: 2 percent
Other sub-Saharan Africans: 10 percent
Other nationalities: 16 percent
