The head of the UN refugee agency has said the Syrian crisis has become “the worst humanitarian crisis of our times.”
UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Antonio Guterres said the crisis was threatening regional and global peace and security and “risking an explosion that could engulf the entire Middle East.”
Guterres told the UN Security Council that more than 100,000 Syrian refugee children born in exile could become stateless.
“If this is not addressed properly, this crisis-in-making will have huge consequences not only for the future of Syria but for the whole region,” he said.
He said the overall Syrian refugee crisis is approaching a “dangerous turning point.”
“The nature of the refugee crisis is changing,” he said, calling for “massive international support” for countries that have opened their borders to fleeing civilians.
