Kathleen Newland co-founder of the Migration Policy Institute, says the 10,000 migrants the U.S. has agreed to accept is not really enough to help with the crisis.
"I think over time, the United States will begin to accept more Syrian refugees for resettlement here in the United States. But our procedures and our security screening for refugees is extremely bureaucratic and cumbersome and slow and expensive. So we are going to need to streamline our procedures a bit more – a lot more," said Newland.
The UNHCR last week appealed to donors for $96 million in additional support for the winter months for Greece and affected countries in the Balkans. The so-called "Winterization Plan" focuses on putting measures in place to support countries such as Croatia, Greece, Serbia, Slovenia and Macedonia - to avert the risk of humanitarian tragedy and loss of life during the winter months.
