Augsburger Allgemeine – Refugee Crisis

The image is a German-language infographic titled “The Refugee Crisis in Numbers”. The main visual focus is a large map that outlines the main routes traveled by refugees from their original countries in the Middle East, such as Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, to Europe. Arrows alongside the numbers or refugees are added on the map.

From this map we can learn that 9725 refugees from Morocco traveled to Spain. From Algeria, Libya, Egypt, and Turkey 9270 traveled to Italy, 10.705 to Greece and 54 to Bulgaria. From Turkey, there were also 468 refugees traveling to Cyprus, and 1838 to Malta from Tunisia and Libya.

Neighboring countries Syria and Iraq are located on the map but have no further data to them, the same goes for the water label for the Black and Mediterranean Sea.

Statistical data, including specific figures, are scattered around the image that provide more in-depth information about the crisis. Notably, there are both bar and line charts that display the number of refugees arriving in Germany from 2015 and 2016, and depict how their numbers have increased over this period.
