UN: Refugee flow to Europe is 'inevitable'

The United Nations’ High Commissioner for Refugees said Monday that it’s “inevitable” that the European Union will continue to receive requests for refugees, after a record high 65.3 million people were displaced around the world in 2015.

“There is no plan B for Europe in the long run. Europe will continue to receive people seeking asylum. Their numbers may vary … but it is inevitable,” said High Commissioner Filippo Grandi in the UN’s new Global Trends report to mark World Refugee Day.
