Tokyo, (IINA) - Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said on Monday that Japan will provide about $810 million to aid refugees fleeing Syria and Iraq, Reuters reported quoting NHK, Japan Broadcasting Corporation.
The prime minister was expected to announce the new aid when he addresses the U.N. General Assembly tomorrow, NHK said, but he did not refer to whether Japan would ease its own strict conditions for accepting refugees.
According to news reports, Japan received more than 5,000 refugee applications in 2014 and it has only accepted 11.
It is noteworthy that the United Nations said on Friday that it could see no easing of the flow of refugees into Europe, with 8,000 arrivals daily, and that problems now facing governments may turn out to be only "the tip of the iceberg".
