So yesterday I was talking about the underfunded UNHCR relief effort.

UN agencies 'broke and failing' in face of ever-growing refugee crisis - Guardian

Click on the link to see the complete graph. The first bar is the request of the UNHCR for $2.89 billion for the Syria regional response plan, of which $0.9 billion have been funded. If some European governments had had the foresight (yeah I know), they would've just filled out the rest long ago which would've been that much cheaper. Bygones, but it's not too late to make a difference.

If you have some Euros to spare make a donation. Either through the worldwide UNHCR website or (to get the tax deduction) through the websites of the national offices:

France

Germany

Italy

Spain

Great Britain

USA

Schengen is toast!
