Germany announced a stop to taking in migrants from Italy on Wednesday, September 13th, The Telegraph reported. Berlin cites challenges to accommodate newcomers, while the Mediterranean country struggles with an unprecedented wave of arrivals, and its entire asylum system is on the brink of collapse.
Berlin also said that the move was necessary because Italy fails to comply with the Dublin regulation, which states that migrants should be returned to the first EU member state they entered until their asylum claims have been assessed.
