Examples of REFUGEES in a Sentence

1. Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus:

   It is now the EU's turn to fulfill its responsibilities. I believe it will act in line with the deal as Turkey has done so much for it. Cancellation of the deal is not on our agenda, and we will continue to do our part for the deal to succeed, the drop in the number of refugees arriving in Europe is clear evidence that Turkey is taking the deal seriously.

2. Colin Bruce:

   It's actually quite significant for countries like Jordan, for Lebanon and for Turkey, and some estimates put that at about 1.1-1.4 percent of GDP, we recognize that for many of these countries there's a cost associated with hosting with refugees and they need to be compensated.

3. Anne Richard:

   They aren't really strictly speaking refugees but they are people who need protection and who may well need protection and who may well need refuge outside their country.

4. Michael Bowers:

   Over 4 million Syrians are now registered refugees in other countries, over half of those are children. As 2015 draws to a close, protection and humanitarian aid in Syria have reached a record high, and in the absence of a viable peace, the situation is expected to deteriorate and require even more sustained humanitarian support in the coming year.

5. Jordan Abudayyeh:

   The state is working with our partners at the City of Chicago and Cook County along with advocacy organizations to welcome those seeking asylum in the United States and provide them stability as they work to build a new life in Illinois. The state has a prior relationship with the hotel being used in the suburbs and their staff has done amazing work welcoming refugees and asylum seekers before, so it is interesting that local officials are choosing this specific instance to gripe to the press about this specific group of asylum seekers that consists of about 30 families. Gov. Pritzker has made it clear that Illinois is [a] welcoming state and xenophobia has no home here.
