A spate of migrant shipwrecks and rescues in the Mediterranean Sea in recent days is evidence that urgent action is required from European States to address the issue, the UN said on Tuesday
Spain’s reported announcement that it will allow a boat to dock carrying hundreds of migrants and refugees that was originally turned away from Italy is a “generous display of solidarity”, the UN Refugee Agency said on Monday. UNHCR spokesperson Charlie Yaxley spoke with Daniel Johnson.
Twenty support centres that will be established along the most frequently used migration routes in Europe will assist families and children who have fled war, hardship and other trauma.
The world is seeing an “explosion” of refugees as a result of multiple crises in the Middle East and Africa; that’s according to António Guterres, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
