António Guterres, the head of the United Nations refugee agency, has
expressed growing alarm about the scope and severity of the crisis. On
Tuesday, he told the Security Council that the pace of Syrians’ fleeing
the country was the worst since the Rwandan genocide
in 1994. On Thursday, he criticized the European Union for not doing
enough to assist Syrians who have sought shelter and asylum in Europe,
suggesting a more generous outreach could help ease the refugee burdens
imposed on Syria’s neighbors. “A positive example from Europe is now
crucial,” Mr. Guterres told a meeting of the European Union’s Justice
and Home Affairs Council in Vilnius, Lithuania.
Mr. Kleinschmidt said security at the Zaatari camp had improved from the
days when United Nations workers had to wear hard hats to protect
against rocks thrown by disgruntled refugees.
