The UN high commissioner for refugees says the migrants crisis is now a global phenomenon and that simply turning them away “won’t work”.Filippo Grandi said that more nations had to help the “few countries” shouldering the burden, by increasing both funding and resettlement.
He said that, last year, fewer than 1% of 20 million refugees had been resettled in another nation.
More are fleeing conflict and hardship than at any other time in history.
