The European Union is buckling under the worst refugee crisis since WWII, as hundreds of thousands of people stream in from war-torn countries. But with aid agencies and global resources already stretched to the limit, do these people stand a chance of ever reclaiming their lives? Oksana is joined by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Antonio Guterres, to debate these issues.

RT (Russia Today) is a global news network broadcasting from Moscow and Washington studios.
I’ve been plunged into despair but I’ve been healed by looking around and seeing what we do for each other to bring each other back up from the depths.” Neil Gaiman
“We watch the news about Syria and the situation is bleak. In May when I travelled to Jordan with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and visited Zaatari and Azraq refugee camps with fashion designer Georgina Chapman and her husband, film producer, Harvey Weinstein, the scale of the refugee situation was extraordinary to us. Conflict was forcing innocent people in love with their country to abandon their homes and bleed, in their thousands, across its borders. How are they able to cope with losing everything? How are the neighbouring countries expected to cope with the flood of human beings overwhelming their infrastructure and their already scarce resources?
6 months on and the numbers of refugees and internally displaced have climbed, not inch by inch, but in dizzying numbers: over 6.4 million people displaced inside Syria, over 3 million refugees outside Syria. Spirits have been broken, homes wrecked, lives destroyed, and a generation of children traumatized.
But somehow, still, in amongst the horror and the nightmares, there are still many small and glorious stories of survival and hope, resilience and dignity. I have already shared many of them with you, but there are more to tell. I'm sharing them in order to build a connection between the people I have met – Ayman, Ibrahim, Um Murad and the rest - and with you. Yes, you. I'm asking, on their behalf and UNHCR’s, for help, because if you could have the conversations that we had, if only you could sit and speak to the refugees, face to face, you would see that we really are the same, that we really are part of one family. And, at its best, a family does all it can to support each other.” – Neil Gaiman

Those whose lives have been uprooted and torn apart by conflict or natural disaster, UNHCR exists to help them. This is our story.
The High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) was established in December 1950. The Second World War left over one million refugees far from home and governments in need of assistance to coordinate the crisis. UNHCR was created to help. The founders thought their task would only take three years but new conflicts broke out and more families were forced flee their homes. In 1951 we started with 34 employees. By the end of 2013 we had over 8,000 people working in 126 countries.

This is Turkey's biggest and newest camp for Syrian refugees - Suruc camp in southern Turkey will provide shelter for 35,000 people when fully populated.
New arrivals come from across Syria, but many are from the town of Kobani, just across the border. Once Suruc camp is full, Turkey will be providing shelter to over 260,000 Syrians in camps, as part of some 1.7 million refugees across the country.
After registration, and being allocated a tent, refugees receive blankets, heaters and clothes.

Filippo Grandi calls for greater international efforts to end world's worst humanitarian crisis on visit to Syrian refugees in the region's largest refugee camp - Za'atari.
"It is essential that the international community and all actors that have an influence on the parties to the conflict – and the parties to the conflict themselves, first and foremost – exercise greater efforts towards peace," he told a news conference.
"If a settlement of the conflict is not found, this crisis will not end and we will continue year after year to ask the international community for huge amounts of money to support refugees that – until there is peace – will not want to go back."

The figures are staggering, and getting grimmer. Almost 60 million people forcibly displaced at the end of 2014, a population almost the size of Italy. That’s the biggest jump in any year in history and as the number of victims grows, funding to help these people is actually dropping. Today the UNHCR High Commissioner, António Guterres, called for a change of attitude and a recognition that the crisis is no longer containable.

The Greek border village of Idomeni is home to some 150 people, most of whom are pensioners. It has witnessed the results of an influx of an estimated one million refugees and migrants to Europe over the last year.
From her small house, Panagiota Vasileiadou, 82, has witnessed hundreds of refugees begging for food to feed their children or clean water to shower and wash their clothes. As a daughter of ethnic Greek refugees, she herself left Turkey in a population exchange after the 1919-1922 Greco-Turkish war and is now doing all she can to help the latest wave of refugees by giving out food and clothes.

Recently over 1,300 Syrian refugees crossed the border to northeast Jordan in 24 hours. More than half of them were children, and they reached the remote Ruwaished area after walking for days in the desert. The new arrivals receive immediate assistance such as blankets and water, and then begin their three day journey to Za'atari refugee camp.

"Today 28 countries expressed their solidarity with Syrian refugees, and also with the five neighbouring countries that support them - Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq"
Governments meeting in Geneva pledged to increase the number of Syrian refugees they are accepting through resettlement and other humanitarian mechanisms.
UNHCR expects the total number of places for Syrian refugees available in the coming months to reach 100,000. This includes 62,000 places already made available by governments.

"Cameroon needs and deserves a much stronger solidarity, not only from the humanitarian point of view but also from the economic and development point of view."
Cameroon is today not only a very important protection space for refugees, but it is in the first line of defense of the international community."
I hope the international community will be able to understand these needs and will be able to respond to the enormous generosity of the Cameroonian people."
UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres has called for greatly increased humanitarian and development assistance for Cameroon, while visiting Minawao camp. Guterres listened to the stories of some of the estimated 74,000 Nigerian refugees now in the region.

High Commissioner is the title of various high-ranking, special executive positions held by a commission of appointment.
The English term is also used to render various equivalent titles in other languages.
In the Commonwealth of Nations, a High Commissioner is the senior diplomat (ranking as an ambassador) in charge of the diplomatic mission of one Commonwealth government to another. In this usage, a Commonwealth nation's High Commission is its embassy to another Commonwealth nation.
Historically, in the British Empire (most of which would become the Commonwealth) High Commissioners were envoys of the Imperial Government appointed to manage protectorates or groups of territories not fully under the sovereignty of the British Crown, while Crown colonies (which were British sovereign territory) would normally be administered by a Governor and the most significant possessions, large confederations and the independent Commonwealth Dominions would be headed by a Governor-General.

"Cameroon needs and deserves a much stronger solidarity, not only from the humanitarian point of view but also from the economic and development point of view." Cameroon is today not only a very important protection space for refugees, but it is in the first line of defense of the international community." I hope the international community will be able to understand these needs and will be able to respond to the enormous generosity of the Cameroonian people." UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres has called for greatly increased humanitarian and development assistance for Cameroon, while visiting Minawao camp.

FIGHT & FLIGHT ft. Antonio Guterres, UN High Commissioner for Refugees

3 Million Reasons Why Your Heart Will Break In One Video

In May when I travelled to Jordan with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and visited Zaatari and Azraq refugee camps with fashion designer Georgina Chapman and her husband, film producer, Harvey Weinstein, the scale of the refugee situation was extraordinary to us.

The UN Refugee Agency: Our Story
Those whose lives have been uprooted and torn apart by conflict or natural disaster, UNHCR exists to help them. This is our story. The High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) was established in December 1950. The Second World War left over one million refugees far from home and governments in need of assistance to coordinate the crisis. UNHCR was created to help. The founders thought their task would only take three years but new conflicts broke out and more families were forced flee their homes. In 1951 we started with 34 employees. By the end of 2013 we had over 8,000 people working in 126 countries.

Turkey: Biggest Refugee Camp Opens
This is Turkey's biggest and newest camp for Syrian refugees - Suruc camp in southern Turkey will provide shelter for 35,000 people when fully populated.

Once Suruc camp is full, Turkey will be providing shelter to over 260,000 Syrians in camps, as part of some 1.7 million refugees across the country. After registration, and being allocated a tent, refugees receive blankets, heaters and clothes.

Jordan: High Commissioner Meets Syrian Refugees in Za'atari Camp
Filippo Grandi calls for greater international efforts to end world's worst humanitarian crisis on visit to Syrian refugees in the region's largest refugee camp - Za'atari. "It is essential that the international community and all actors that have an influence on the parties to the conflict – and the parties to the conflict themselves, first and foremost – exercise greater efforts towards peace," he told a news conference. "If a settlement of the conflict is not found, this crisis will not end and we will continue year after year to ask the international community for huge amounts of money to support refugees that – until there is peace – will not want to go back."

Turkey: High Commissioner's Global Trends Warning
The figures are staggering, and getting grimmer. Almost 60 million people forcibly displaced at the end of 2014, a population almost the size of Italy. That’s the biggest jump in any year in history and as the number of victims grows, funding to help these people is actually dropping. Today the UNHCR High Commissioner, António Guterres, called for a change of attitude and a recognition that the crisis is no longer containable.

Greece: The Refugees’ Grandmother
The Greek border village of Idomeni is home to some 150 people, most of whom are pensioners. It has witnessed the results of an influx of an estimated one million refugees and migrants to Europe over the last year. From her small house, Panagiota Vasileiadou, 82, has witnessed hundreds of refugees begging for food to feed their children or clean water to shower and wash their clothes. As a daughter of ethnic Greek refugees, she herself left Turkey in a population exchange after the 1919-1922 Greco-Turkish war and is now doing all she can to help the latest wave of refugees by giving out food and clothes.

Filippo Grandi calls for greater international efforts to end world's worst humanitarian crisis on visit to Syrian refugees in the region's largest refugee camp - Za'atari.
"It is essential that the international community and all actors that have an influence on the parties to the conflict – and the parties to the conflict themselves, first and foremost – exercise greater efforts towards peace," he told a news conference.
"If a settlement of the conflict is not found, this crisis will not end and we will continue year after year to ask the international community for huge amounts of money to support refugees that – until there is peace – will not want to go back."

The figures are staggering, and getting grimmer. Almost 60 million people forcibly displaced at the end of 2014, a population almost the size of Italy. That’s the biggest jump in any year in history and as the number of victims grows, funding to help these people is actually dropping. Today the UNHCR High Commissioner, António Guterres, called for a change of attitude and a recognition that the crisis is no longer containable.

The Greek border village of Idomeni is home to some 150 people, most of whom are pensioners. It has witnessed the results of an influx of an estimated one million refugees and migrants to Europe over the last year.
From her small house, Panagiota Vasileiadou, 82, has witnessed hundreds of refugees begging for food to feed their children or clean water to shower and wash their clothes. As a daughter of ethnic Greek refugees, she herself left Turkey in a population exchange after the 1919-1922 Greco-Turkish war and is now doing all she can to help the latest wave of refugees by giving out food and clothes.
