USCCB official calls for increased aid for Syrian refugees
March 10, 2015
The Migration and Refugee Services office of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has issued a report on the Syrian refugee crisis.
Nearly four million refugees have fled Syria, and neighboring countries are reaching a saturation point in which they can no longer accept refugees.
“Without more international support, we will find Syrians fleeing extremists being turned away and forced back to danger,” said Anastasia Brown, the office’s interim executive director. “The global community, led by Europe and the United States, needs to increase its support in order to prevent a humanitarian crisis.”
