Tunis (IINA) – Tunisian vice Minister of Immigration and Social Integration Belgacem Sabri has announced that his country cannot receive new Syrian refugees given the limited resources and the current economic situation, news agencies reported.
Sabri stated that Tunisia has already welcomed around 4,000 Syrian refugees who are benefiting from social aid and the state's support.
"The Tunisian state has encouraged aid on different occasions for Syrian refugees through the Tunisian Union of Social Solidarity," said Sabri.
Most of the children of Syrian refugees are enrolled in public schools, and all refugees are treated equally to Tunisian citizens in terms of public services and social care, he added.
Millions of Syrians have fled their country because of war, which led to a larger migrant and refugee crisis in Europe. According to the International Organization of Migrants (IOM), more than 430,000 people had crossed the Mediterranean to Europe so far this year, with 2,748 dying or going missing en route.
