UN chief Ban Ki-moon on March 30 called for a united global effort to tackle the Syrian refugee crisis, as he opened a conference on securing resettlement places for nearly half a million of those displaced. More than one million migrants – about half of them Syrians – reached Europe via the Mediterranean last year, a rate of arrivals that has continued through the first three months of 2016.
