Map: The walls Europe is building to keep people out After the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, for a while it seemed like border fences and barriers were a thing of the past in Europe. Many on the continent hoped for a new era of integration and receptivity. It didn't happen. Instead, various pressures have led Europe to adopt wall-building projects that would make Donald Trump proud. Right now, in Hungary, for example, the government is rushing to complete a 109-mile-long barbed wire border fence along its southern frontier with Serbia – a project made bitterly ironic by Hungary's 1989 decision to cut its border fence with Austria and help break the Iron Curtain. "We have only recently taken down walls in Europe," European Union spokeswoman Natasha Bertaud said when news of the fence spread in June. The Hungarian government hopes this new fence will stem the flow of migrants and refugees traveling through Hungary on what has been referred to as the West Balkans route. The walls going up in Europe aren't all about migrants and refugees.

Trying to follow what is going on in Syria and why? This comic will get you there in 5 minutes. That warning has become a global alert. Since the uprising against Assad in March 2011, over 240,000 people have been killed, 4 million Syrians have fled their country, and over 7 million have been displaced. The headlines are full of the heartbreaking stories of these refugees — including young children — who have died trying to reach safety in other countries. "We are experiencing a surprising uptick in global insecurity ... partially due to our inability to manage climate stress."

Shame On Europe Thousands of child refugees have arrived in Europe alone without any parents or relatives to look after them. Exhausted and terrified, many are in danger of being abused by criminals. We believe the government must offer 3,000 of them a safe home in Britain. Take action now if you agree. Last year 26,000 children arrived in Europe on their own - leaving them incredibly vulnerable. We're asking the government to give a home to 3,000 children who are travelling alone. So far it has offered to accept thousands of Syrian refugees. It's also said that it will do much more to help child refugees - especially those who are alone in Europe and in conflict zones. This is a welcome step in the right direction and we'll be watching carefully to make sure that it follows through on what it has said. We will also continue to call on the government to urgently take in 3,000 lone children - and we need your help. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Read the five point plan in full.
In 1 tweet, J.K. Rowling captured the media's hypocrisy in how it treats Syrian refugees. J.K. Rowling is heartsick over how the thousands of Middle Eastern refugees flooding into Europe are being treated. So when The Daily Express published an article about the major humanitarian crisis on the bottom of their front page, Rowling took them to task. Specifically, for the prominent placement of a different story about a dog looking for a home. Of course, Rowling wasn't suggesting that people shouldn't care about homeless dogs. Photo via dudwnhahaha. There are many unsheltered animals that need loving homes, and it's completely understandable — and admirable — to feel for them and want them to be safe. And dogs are, without a doubt, very cute. But the tweet reflects a growing frustration that, while one dog needing a home is sad, there are thousands of people who need homes — and not enough is being done about it.

The International Organization for Migration calls Europe the most dangerous destination for irregular migration in the world, and the Mediterranean the world's most dangerous border crossing. Where do these migrants and refugees come from? Political upheaval in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia is reshaping migration trends in Europe. The IOM estimates that more than 464,000 migrants have crossed into Europe by sea for the first nine months of 2015. What’s the difference between a migrant and refugee? Distinguishing migrants from asylum seekers and refugees is not always a clear-cut process, yet it is a crucial designation because these groups are entitled to different levels of assistance and protection under international law.
