EU Report Shows Unprecedented Increase in Afghan Asylum Seekers

The European Union (EU) reported that over 9,000 Afghan citizens have applied for asylum in EU member states in a month, which is a significant increase compared to previous years.

The number of asylum seekers has increased by 40% compared to the same period last year.

Syrians and Afghans are the largest groups of asylum seekers in the EU.

Germany received the highest number of asylum applications in February, followed by Spain, France, and Italy.

Among the new asylum seekers, 2,745 are unaccompanied minors, including 1,025 Afghans.

The EU is struggling to manage the influx of asylum seekers, and the situation is putting a strain on the member states' resources and policies.
