“African refugees must be treated like Ukrainians” – UN refugee agency

The head of the UN refugee agency, Filippo Grandi, has asked Europe to be generous and welcoming to other migrants, just as it has with Ukrainian refugees.

It comes following the deaths of dozens of African migrants at sea.

Filippo Grandi, said Europe had hosted Ukrainian refugees “generously and effectively” and should consider the same for other refugees:

Thousands of African migrants have been trying to cross the Mediterranean in recent years in search for a better life in Europe.
