Solutions for refugee crisis
19.
The flood ofrefugees from the Middle East and Africa into
the EU seems unstoppable. Refugees placing in many
countries are not living well; they are not given adequate
facilities to work & inadequate shelter only providing the
means to protect their life. Proper solutions need to be
taken & policies in this regard should be adopted by the
world leaders so that no people may die at time of crossing
the border & they should reach the safest place without
harassment.
