Nearly 150000 Central Americans expected to seek asylum this year

Summary

 Asylum-seekers are fleeing El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras at a scale never before seen in the region, the United Nations refugee agency said. It released the figures Wednesday at the start of a two-day meeting in San Jose to discuss regional solutions to flood of Central Americans fleeing violence. U.N High Commissioner for refugees Filippo Grandi said “They will not stop tomorrow or next day.” It means that the number of refugees will be increasing in the future.

Opinion

When I examined for the refugees, I knew that there was the organization called Amnesty International. It is an international human rights NGO that gathered people to pray, “I want to help people who are suffering.” I thought it was a great organization. I hope to realize that Human rights of all people are protected and everyone is not suffering from human rights violations such as conflict and poverty, torture and discrimination. I also want to actively participate in, such as volunteers and donations for refugees.
