In a surprise shift, the United Arab Emirates has agreed to take Syrian refugees into their state.
15,000 of them.
Over 5 years.
Reem Al Hashemi, minister of state for international cooperation was speaking at a UN refugee summit when she announced the plan, saying “we must all do our part”.
“Ultimately, we must offer a source of hope for displaced persons that allows them to maintain dignity, return home, reintegrate themselves into their societies, and rebuild their countries and their lives,” she explained.
