European Union Proposes $700 Million in Aid to Address Refugee Needs
--------------------------------------------------------------------

The European Union has proposed a plan to distribute more than $700
million of humanitarian aid within its own borders as the continent
attempts to respond to the needs of refugees fleeing wars in North
Africa and the Middle East. This comes as 30,000 refugees are stranded
in Greece because countries further along the Balkan route have closed
their borders.
