United Nations, September 9 (RHC)-- The United Nations is now estimating at least 850,000 people are expected to cross the Mediterranean this year and next, seeking refuge in Europe to escape violence and unrest in Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, sub-Saharan Africa and other regions. At least 366,000 refugees have arrived in Europe so far this year.

The United States, meanwhile, is reportedly considering taking in more Syrian refugees as it faces increasing domestic and international pressure. The United States has resettled only approximately 1,500 Syrians since the violence began.
