Episode: Refugee Crisis Global Challenge, Kyung-wha Kang
Description: More than 1 million migrants and refugees made their way to Europe last year, 350K from Syria alone. A recent IMF study says people fleeing conflict areas in the Middle-East and North Africa has brought about the biggest refugee crisis since World War 2. In this podcast, the UN's Kyung-Wha Kang says the 1951 UN convention for refugees is no longer enough. Â Contributors: Kyung-Wha Kang, Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator at the United Nations.
