PARIS (AP) — The latest developments as European nations struggle to cope with tens of thousands of people trekking across the continent to find safety. All times local:

Italian police have emptied out a migrant tent camp in the border city of Ventimiglia, prompting dozens of migrants to flee to rocks along the shoreline. There were no reports of violence.

Mayor Enrico Ioculano told Sky TG24 the city had sought to have the camp near the French border removed for months, saying it created "numerous difficulties" for the city and its residents.

Ventimiglia was a flashpoint in June, when migrants were prevented from leaving Italy by heightened French border controls.

Police stood by near the rocks hours after the dawn blitz Wednesday, with the atmosphere remaining tense. Italian news reports said the bishop of Ventimiglia had arrived to speak with the asylum-seekers and the volunteers helping them in an attempt to diffuse the situation.

Authorities in Greece say 2 people have died and 47 people have been rescued from a dinghy near the island of Lesbos.

The Greek Coast Guard said the incident occurred early Wednesday and that the bodies recovered were of a woman and a child. The survivors were being taken to the island. The circumstances of their deaths were not immediately clear.

Lesbos is the busiest entry point for migrants reaching the European Union, with some 2,000 arrivals per day from nearby Turkey. Most are Syrians fleeing the country's civil war. The International Organization for migration says over 522,000 people — a record number — have crossed the Mediterranean this year seeking refuge in Europe, 388,000 coming through Greece.

French authorities say an Eritrean migrant has been found dead in the tunnel beneath the English Channel, the latest of several killed this year as thousands of people fleeing poverty and war try to cross illegally from France into Britain.

The administration for the Pas-de-Calais region says the migrant was apparently hit by a freight train near the entrance to the tunnel in Calais. It said the man was in his 20s and was found alone Wednesday.

Eurotunnel, which operates the freight trains, lamented an "accident that unfortunately only confirms that any attempt to cross the Channel illegally carries considerable risks."

Thirteen people have now been killed trying to sneak across the Channel this year. French and British authorities have tried to crack down on the dangerous journeys.
