The number of Syrian refugees passed the five mn mark, according to the UN’s refugee agency UNHCR. The international community needs to do more to help Syrian refugees, said Filippo Grandi, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. “We still have a long road to travel in expanding resettlement and the number and range of complementary pathways available for refugees … To meet this challenge, we not only need additional places, but also need to accelerate the implementation of existing pledges,” Grandi says.
