War Refugees: Antonio Guterres

Antonio Guterres: The needs of these people are overwhelming; their anguish is unbearable, said Antonio Guterres, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, in a statement to mark World Refugee Day, according to The Star. Events were held in cities around the world. In Toronto , World Refugee Day organizers marched from City Hall to Dundas Square for a concert and poetry reading and People across the globe came together Thursday to reflect on the plight of war refugees, as families continue to flee hotbeds of violence in Syria, Afghanistan and beyond. In all the years I have worked on behalf of refugees, this is the most worrying I have ever witnessed, Guterres said from Jordan, where more than 500,000 Syrians displaced by civil war are registered as refugees.
