歐洲呼籲召開緊急會議以應對移民危機

The interior ministers of Britain, France and Germany have called for a special meeting of European Union interior and justice ministers within the next two weeks to deal with the continent's escalating migrant crisis.

The ministers said in a statement Sunday they want to find "concrete steps" to solve the growing migrant dilemma.

Macedonia declared a state of emergency earlier this month in response to daily border crossings from Greece of some 3,000 migrants pushing toward western European countries.

The United Nations estimates 300,000 migrants from the Middle East, Africa and South Asia have fled to Europe this year to escape poverty and violence.

Hundreds have drowned in the Mediterranean, and authorities expect those tolls, as well as fatalities from land smuggling, to rise.英國、法國和德國的內政部長呼籲歐盟各國內政和司法部長在未來兩週內舉行特別會議，應對歐洲大陸不斷升級的移民危機。

三國的內政部長在星期天的聲明中說，他們希望找到“具體步驟”，解決不斷加劇的移民困境。

本月早些時候，面對每天約3000名移民從希臘涌向其邊境以進入西歐國家的馬其頓宣佈進入緊急狀態。

聯合國估計，今年爲了擺脫貧困和暴力已經有30萬移民從中東、非洲和南亞逃到歐洲。
