These minors were found to have arrived from Egypt (4 667), Ukraine (4 131), Tunisia (2 438), Gambia (2 141) and Guinea (1 925). The report also points out that there has been an increase in the number of minors arriving from Tunisia, Gambia, Guinea and the Ivory Coast, and a decrease in arrivals from Egypt, Albania and Pakistan.
