Europe on Verge of Second Migrant Wave, UN Official David Beasley Claims

Europe may be on the verge of a second major migrant surge, according to David Beasley, head of the UN World Food Programme.

Speaking with the German language newspaper Die Zeit, Beasley says there’s a clear link between hunger and migration—and those living in refugee camps in Turkey, and elsewhere, are beginning to stave. If Europe does not adequately address the situation abroad, the people will likely migrate to Europe:

We paid a heavy price for this mistake and I’m afraid we’re about to make it once again. If they don’t have enough food, they will leave. And many of them would go to Europe.
