The UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon called on the international community to resettle some 480,000 Syrian refugees yesterday, while calling on world leaders to counter “fear-mongering” over the potential security threat posed by Middle East refugees.
“I ask that countries act with solidarity, in the name of our shared humanity, by pledging new and additional pathways for the admission of Syrian refugees,” Mr Ban told an emergency summit in Geneva organised by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR)
His calls came as Europe prepares to implement a controversial deal to begin deporting irregular migrants - including Syrians - back to Turkey as part of a bid to end Europe’s worst refugee crisis since the Second World War.
Syria’s civil war continues to fuel an exodus of 4.8m refugees from the country, although a fragile ceasefire has held over the past month.

I agree with the UN. However, the refugees must be resettled in Muslim countries. Especially oil-rich nations in the Gulf.
