The Ukrainian refugee crisis has shifted the focus away from others who fled war and need help, Filippo Grandi, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, told DW.
“Today, the number of Syrian refugees registered in the Middle East is 5.7 million. This happens to be today exactly the same number as Ukrainian refugees that left their country, 5.7 million,” he said.
Grandi attended an EU donor conference in Brussels for Syrian refugees and the countries hosting them.
He said the EU did an “exemplary” job of responding to refugees fleeing from Ukraine.
“I hope this exemplary response of Europe to this Ukrainian refugee crisis can be, you know, the same solidarity the same vision can be applied also to respond to crises in other parts of the world.
