CRI听力:UN Calls for More Efforts to Support Iraqi and Syrian Refugees
The United Nations is calling for a stronger international response to support Iraqi and Syrian refugees.
Antonio Guterres, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees said altogether some 15 million people have been displaced by the conflicts in Iraq and Syria.
Guterres added that the impact of the refugees' crisis is putting neighbouring countries under enormous pressure.
"We cannot put only pressure on Lebanon and Jordan. We need to ask the international community to assume its responsibilities and to express its solidarity with these countries that are in the first line of impact of this dramatic situation."
Guterres urged European countries to open their borders to refugees and create "more legal avenues" for people to reach Europe.
