US authorities decide to accept ten thousand refugees from Syria
As White House spokesman Josh Ernest said, the most effective type of American aid in the current refugee crisis is financial. The United States, he recalled, allocated about four billion dollars to international humanitarian organizations.
At the same time, Ernest added, President Barack Obama’s decision to accept at least 10 thousands of refugees will increase the US contribution to solving this problem.
During the four years of the Syrian civil war, 1500 immigrants from this country received permission to settle in the United States.
Previously, After meeting with legislators in Congress, US Secretary of State John Kerry said: “We are carefully considering what number of refugees we can accept in connection with the crisis in Syria and Europe. A full-scale verification is underway on this issue. ”
