The EU to Allocate €700m for Refugee Crisis
twitter.com
The EU will allocate hundreds of millions of euros to help Greece and other countries trying to cope with the refugee influx, The Guardian reports.
The European commissioner for humanitarian aid, Christos Stylianides, said that €700m (£544m) would be spent over three years on helping refugees.
According to Stylianides the EU would be able to deliver emergency aid much faster than before, including food, emergency healthcare, shelter and clean water, which will reduce humanitarian sufferings of refugees.
"But we should have no illusions. To bring a sustainable solution to this crisis we must address its root cause in the countries of origin," he added.
