The European Commission Monday Aug 10,2015 approved 2.4 billion euros ($2.6 billion)
of aid over six years for countries including Greece and Italy that have
struggled to cope with a surge in numbers of immigrants.
Italy is to receive the most aid - nearly 560 million euros, while Greece will receive 473 million.
Note
Tensions have escalated this year as thousands of migrants from the Middle East and Africa try to gain asylum in the European Union.
In Calais, a bottleneck for migrants attempting to enter Britain illegally through the Eurotunnel from France, has seen several migrant deaths this month.
