The Interior Ministers of Britain, France and Germany have called for urgent action to deal with thousands of migrants arriving in Europe.

The ministers issued a joint statement on Sunday. They called the situation “exceptional.” They asked the European Union President, Luxembourg, to hold a meeting within two weeks.

The ministers also called for Italy and Greece to process migrants better as they enter their borders. The International Organization for Migration says the two countries are the main landing points for 322,000 migrants who have crossed the Mediterranean Sea this year.

The IOM says the largest populations arriving in Greece and Italy are from Syria, Afghanistan, Eritrea and Nigeria.
