Antonio Guterres: Read more: Canada falling short amid global refugee crisisA recent wave of people leaving Syria and an update of Turkish statistics confirmed the tragic milestone, according to the U.N. refugee agency, UNHCR. The agency said 7.6 million additional people have been displaced from their homes within Syria by the fighting, according to Toronto Star. The 4 million refugees are the most to flee a conflict since the Afghan civil war forced 4.6 million out of their country beginning in 1992. That equal to the population of Metropolitan Montreal. This is the biggest refugee population from a single conflict in a generation, U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres said. Mideast Syrian refugee population The flow of refugees is accelerating only 10 months after the agency said more than 3 million Syrians had fled their country. It is a population that needs the support of the world but is instead living in dire conditions and sinking deeper into poverty. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
