The crisis of refugees or migrant is far bigger than we even can imagine and European countries are by far the better option for people being thrown out of their houses or compelled to leave their home. A vast majority of refugees are war-driven and that is another matter of concern, how some unethical and politically motivated war was imposed on countries to make their citizens flee for another country. Now we will talk about the refugee crisis in Europe which is addressed so many other groups whether it is European right groups or human rights groups. It concerns both for some different reasons. Here we have to accept that European countries should be admired for their bigger heart and someplace in their countries for migrants or refugees.

There are plenty of nations who would never accept these refugees at any cost so these nations should be praised. However, they did not welcome these people with open arms and sometimes failed to provide them with proper facilities, protection and livelihood. While there are other concerns about the consumption of resources and some conservatives would concern about their culture to be corrupted, these people are yet deprived to have a decent lifestyle. They are left to spend their lives in camps and tents and recently a deadly fire occurred in one of such camps in Moriya, Greece. That camp was clustered by 12500 migrants and refugees. Below you can see the influx of refugees in Europe.
After the worsening situation in Seria, Iraq, Jordan and other Mediterranean countries especially after 2015, the flow of immigrants increased rapidly and more than millions of homeless people tried to touch the Europan bloc. Mostly they took shelter in coastal countries mainly Italy and Greece and via these countries they reach France and Germany and central Europe. It is an unavoidable factor that most of these countries are going through week economic growth and providing enough facilities to unwanted immigrants might be a difficult situation for them.
Now on 25th September 2020, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has addressed the media and announced a policy in regards to the refugee crisis in Europe and its uneven distribution. She produced a solution for managing big influx of refugees and migrants by a compulsory system across the region.
According to this system, all of the members of the EU would either agree to accept the asylum or take responsibility to send them back. This pact is backed by the German Chancellor Angela Markel but it would require all 27 members of EU to take part in. In the current scenario, coastal countries such as Italy and Greece are in favour of this system but central countries such as Poland and Hungary would not want to bear an extra burden of refugees, maybe not on humanitarian grounds. You can watch the EU plan announced by President Ursula here:
Although that new plan seems to present a solution of current migrant and refugee crisis in Europe, but there are a lot of groundworks need to be done in order to make this plan in practice and to manage these people, not in order to distribute them to all the countries but also to help them actively so that they can experience a decent lifestyle and get their deserved place on this planet.
