The EUAA\u2019s analysis predicted that applications could surpass one million by the end of 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roughly one million Syrian asylum-seekers and refugees live in Europe. Germany alone hosts around 59 percent of them. Across Europe, Syrians have usually been provided with international protection status. However, procedures tend to be long, which is why many Syrians have taken dangerous routes to reach the continent. Around 94,000 Syrians made their way to Europe illicitly in 2022, the EU says \u2013 more than double the number in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Emma Jamal<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 About 600 migrants without proper visas from different countries including Syria have arrived in Finland in November, forcing it to erect barriers at some crossing points on the Nordic country\u2019s lengthy border with Russia.
