GENEVA - Some 314,003 migrants and refugees entered Europe via sea since the beginning of 2016.



Most landed either in Greece (167,446) or Italy (142,725). In the same period, about 3,610 people drowned or disappeared at sea, the International Organization for Migration said on Friday.



The total number of arrivals was well under the number seen the previous year (518,181), but the number of deaths was higher: 3,610 compared with 3,029. At least 3,673 people died trying to reach Europe last year.
