EU Migration Crisis -- September 11, 2015



Daily Mail: Europe should expect 'millions and millions' more refugees from Syria as war has created a 'living hell', warns UN director as half the country has been uprooted

* The UN's Peter Salama warns Europe can expect 'millions' more refugees
* He said the civil war in Syria has turned the country into a 'living hell'
* The huge displacement caused by the conflict will lead to more refugees
* Half of the country's population has been uprooted or killed since 2011

Europe can expect millions more refugees to flood in from Syria as the war between Bashar al-Assad and rebel groups has turned the country into a 'living hell', a UN official has warned.

Currently in the grip of the worst refugee crisis since the end of the Second World War, the UN has warned it is being fuelled by the Syrian war which has uprooted half its pre-war population.

But with the situation in Syria deteriorating, far more are likely to come, warned Peter Salama, head of the UN children's agency's Middle East and North Africa division.
