The European Union's response
to the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean is "a first step",
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres
told the UN Security Council on Friday. "The desperation of the
conflicts in Syria and Iraq drives thousands of refugees to risk
their lives on the Mediterranean," he said. "I hope the response
decided on (at the EU summit) yesterday in Brussels will be a
first step towards effective collective action".
