Refugee Centers in Europe: "Turkey only sending lower qualified people to Europe"
The German weekly "der Spiegel" reported that most of the Syrian Refugees passed through to the EU, as part of the new agreement between Turkey and the EU,are either very poorly qualified or sick.
Prior to the deal between Turkey and the EU, when the UNHCR was handling the selection, the nunber of skilled and highly qualified people entering the EU was far higher.
"Now that Turkey is doing the selecting, the refugee election process has become quit nebulous", says the German advocay group Pro-Asyl.

Refugees: U.N. says 13.6 million displaced by wars in Iraq and Syria
About 13.6 million people, equivalent to the population of London,
have been displaced by conflicts in Syria and Iraq, and many are without
food or shelter as winter starts, the U.N. refugee agency UNHCR said on
Tuesday.
Amin Awad, UNHCR's director for the Middle East and North Africa, said the world was becoming numb to the refugees' needs.
"Now when we talk about a million people displaced over two months, or 500,000 overnight, the world is just not responding," he told reporters in Geneva.
The 13.6 million include 7.2 million displaced within Syria - an increase from a long-held U.N. estimate of 6.5 million - as well as 3.3 million Syrian refugees abroad.
