European Council President Donald Tusk said on Thursday the global community should show solidarity on the refugee crisis and recognize it is a global problem suggesting it needs an appropriate global response
Tusk said he would seek G7 support and commitment to increasing global assistance for the immediate and long-term needs of refugees.
“We are aware that because of geography, most of the responsibility (regarding the refugee crisis) has been and will be placed on Europe” said Tusk.
“If we (G7) do not take the lead in managing this crisis, nobody would.”
