Europe Faces Another Million Refugees This Year, UN Report Says

The war in Syria will continue to be the main source of migrants after triggering a spike in 2015, according to the report from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the International Organization for Migration. An increasing number of people will also come from southwest Asia and northern and western Africa, and the continued flow will exacerbate tension among European Union governments already deemed incapable of dealing with new entries smoothly, they said. "The conflict in Syria will continue unabated and will generate high levels of internal and external displacement," the agencies said in the report published on their websites. Refugees fleeing "Afghanistan may increase amid "deteriorating security situation in the majority of the provinces and the continuing downward spiral of the economy."
