(UNHCR corrects refugee figure for first half of 2015, which is
less than, not more than, the number so far this year)
GENEVA, March 1 (Reuters) - The rapid build-up of migrants
stuck at Greece's northern borders risks leading to a
humanitarian disaster, the United Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees (UNHCR) said on Tuesday.
"Europe is on the cusp of a largely self-induced
humanitarian crisis", the UN refugee agency warned in a
statement, urging better planning and accommodation for all
those stuck in Greece.
The UNHCR also urged all EU member states to reinforce their
capacity to register and process asylum seekers through their
national procedures as well as through the European relocation
scheme. Some 131,724 refugees have crossed the Mediterranean
already this year, slightly less than in the first half of 2015,
it said.
