[QUOTE="le bon paysan, post: 8274463, member: 104"] 5. The UK is not disproportionately affected by the global refugee crisis, and neither is Europe By the end of 2014, the global refugee population stood at 14.4 million people – if you discount the 5.1 million Palestinian refugees, who are generally left out of such figures because they are not within the remit of UNHCR, but rather a separate UN agency (the UN Relief and Works Agency). Countries like Turkey and Pakistan host more refugees than all EU countries combined. Except for Turkey, no European country appeared among the top ten hosts of refugees at the end of 2014. Ethiopia, Kenya, Chad and Uganda were all on that list. Within the EU, Sweden and Germany have consistently led the combined EU effort in receiving asylum claims and providing protection. France lags behind but for years has still received more than twice the number of asylum claims received by the UK. Now Italy, Greece, Bulgaria and Hungary are among those far more affected than the UK. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.amnesty.org.uk/truth-about-refugees[/URL] [/QUOTE]
