Fewer people asked for help in Europe. This was in December 2025. Many countries, like Cyprus, saw fewer requests. This could help governments. But asking for help is still hard.
Cyprus got fewer new requests in December. It had 130. This is less than before. Last year, Cyprus had 230 first-time requests. Things are changing in Cyprus.
In Europe, requests dropped by 23%. This was in December 2025. Many people asked for help. They came from Venezuela and Afghanistan. Italy and Spain got many requests.
Some children asked for help alone. In December 2025, 1,330 children came alone. They came from Somalia and Afghanistan. Germany and Spain got the most children.
Europe also made decisions on help requests. Many requests were accepted. People got protection. Afghans and Syrians often got help.
Fewer people asking for help is good for Cyprus. But old cases are still a problem. The number of people asking for help changes. This shows a challenge for Europe. We need to study why numbers are down. But there is less pressure now.
