Refugees and migrants are expected to continue to arrive in Europe at the rate of 5,000 per day from Turkey this winter, the United Nations said in a funding appeal to help avert tragedy in Greece and the Balkans in coming months.
"Harsh
weather conditions in the region are likely to exacerbate the suffering
of the thousands of refugees and migrants landing in Greece and
travelling through the Balkans, and may result in further loss of life
if adequate measures are not taken urgently," the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said, issuing its new winter plan.
