World's Most Unwanted
Written by Paul Eedle Thursday, 23 July 2009 17:33
The UNHCR says Slovakia has agreed to set up an 'evacuation transit centre' which means 98 of the Palestinian refugees stranded on Iraq's border with Syria can be moved to more decent surroundings.
But this helps just 98 of the 2,713 people who have been stranded in three squalid camps in the desert for six years, and it's just a temporary solution 'while their final resettlement to other countries is arranged'. Can we really not find proper homes for this handful of the World's Most Unwanted?
