(Deutsche Welle) The number of refugees under the age of 14 who are missing in Germany has increased in recent months, despite a drop in the total number of refugee arrivals, according to the German Child Welfare Association.
The number increased from 895 children in July to 902 in October, the association said, citing figures from the Federal Criminal Police Office.
The new figures were “alarming” and underlined how countries across the European Union need to improve their support for underage refugees, said the head of the German Child Welfare Association, Holger Hofmann.
