The UN high commissioner for refugees Antonio Gutarris warned that the impact of poverty, climate change and civil wars will lead to an increased numbers of refugees in the world.
In a press conference in Geneva yesterday Mr. Gutarris said refugees will create xenophobia in the host countries.
He said that in the last few months the numbers of refugees from Sudan, Chad, Central African Republic, Cameroon, Ethiopia and Eritrea have increased.
