GENEVA, June 13 (Reuters) - The U.N. refugee agency said on
Monday it expects 248,000 refugees and migrants to arrive in
Europe via the Eastern Mediterranean this year, far lower than
the "up to 1 million" it foresaw at the start of the year.
The figure includes 156,000 who have already arrived, UNHCR
said in an update of a regional refugee plan first issued in
January. The document did not cover the other major migration
route into Europe, from Libya to Italy.
