Europe ‘close to limit’ on refugee numbers, EU president says
According to CNN), Europe is “close to limit” on accepting refugees, EU President Donald Tusk said today, as he urged the international community to step up in re-settling refugees. A growing number of refugees have fled to Europe from Syria, Iraq, Eritrea and Somalia, among other nations. “The practical capabilities of Europe to host new waves of refugees, not to mention irregular economic migrants, are close to the limits,” Tusk said before the start of the two-day G20 summit in China. G20 leaders are meeting in Hangzhou, about one hour outside of Shanghai, to tackle issues including trade, terrorism and climate change.
