Sweden reaches its limit: There are no other places to host refugees
Even Sweden has its limits, Reuters reports in an article published describing the suffocating situation created due to the huge refugee flow.
Sweden which is self-proclaimed “humanitarian superpower” has welcomed more refugees per capita than any other in Europe offering shelter and food.
But now, Sweden has reached its limits with most of the military barracks, ski lodges and camping huts already filling up. The government is warning that tens of thousands of people may end up spending the Nordic winter in tents, Reuters mentions.
Swedish government, though, worries also about the reaction of its own people with far-right protesters shouting “go home” at asylum seekers and refugee housing being hit by arson attacks.
With fewer than 10 million people, Sweden has already received 100,000 refugees so far, and the government now predicts 150,000 could arrive by year’s end.
