US envoy to UN sees security risk if refugees not rescued
PARIS — As Western nations dig in to protect their own citizens, their territory and their way of life, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations warned on Wednesday that a security challenge may await them down the road if they fail to do their share in sheltering refugees today.
Samantha Power said that from the United States to Europe to the Middle East “no one was ready” for the crisis.
“Because we are dealing with the largest displacement crisis since World War II, it has overwhelmed the global system,” Power said.
