BBC: Europe gets 8,000 refugees from Iraq and Syria daily - UN
A daily flow of about 8,000 Syrian and Iraqi refugees to Europe is likely to continue, the United Nations warns.
The figure came from UN regional coordinator for refugees, Amin Awad, in comments quoted by Reuters news agency.
More than 5,000 refugees are arriving daily in Greece.
That flow could continue during the winter if the weather remains good and the borders open, the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) told the BBC.
About half a million migrants - mostly from Syria and other conflict zones in the Middle East and Africa - have arrived in Europe this year.
WNU Editor: After this winter I can easily see this number approaching 20,000+/day during the summer months of 2016. As the following Newsweek article reveals, people in conflict zones and elsewhere are now selling everything and making plans to migrate to Europe within a year .... Why Conditions Are About to Get a Lot Worse For Europe's Refugees (Newsweek) .... and it is not hard to figure out that the total number of people who want to leave are in the millions. Here is an easy prediction ..... after Syria the next massive wave of migrants will be from Afghanistan, Iraq, and much of north and central Africa.
