French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said Thursday that some 800,000 migrants are in Libya hoping to cross to Europe.
Le Drian said in an interview with Europe 1 radio that "hundreds of thousands" of migrants were in Libya, having fled conflict and poverty in the Middle East and elsewhere, adding that the figure of 800,000 was "about right".
In 2015 more than a million migrants entered Europe, about half of them Syrians, with Germany shouldering most of the burden
