lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, the UNHCR has stated that Syria is haemorrhaging women, children and men. That metaphor accurately gives a sense of the scale of the humanitarian disaster. More than two million have fled the country and over four million have been internally displaced. They are fleeing to try to escape a brutal civil war and to survive. By the end of the year over ten million people, more than half the population, will be in need of humanitarian assistance. The scale of the movement also indicates how people do not trust or support either Assad or the sectarian leaders of the opposition. What stands out here above all, though, is the hypocrisy of the EU. The open doors of some of Syria’s neighbours are welcomed but the closed-doors policy of the EU remains: criminalising refugees and militarising European borders with the tragic results that we have seen. The aid given by the EU so far amounts to 20 cents per day per person dependent upon aid. Much more money is needed and the EU must open its borders to these refugees. Investment is also necessary to provide all the necessary services – housing, education and so on – for all."@en1
