Syria conflict: Amnesty says rich nations failing refugees
Rights group Amnesty International has criticised the world's richest nations for taking in a "pitiful" number of Syria's most vulnerable refugees.
It said only 1.7% of the 3.8m refugees taken in by Syria's regional neighbours had been offered sanctuary globally.
It singled out Arab Gulf states, China and Russia for failing to take in any refugees, which it said was "shameful".
Amnesty said the lack of global response was placing the burden on Syria's ill-equipped neighbours.
Most Syrian refugees have fled to Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt, and these countries are struggling to cope with the extra numbers.
Immigration 'scaremongering'
In a new report, the rights group described as shocking "the shortfall in the number of resettlement places for refugees offered by the international community".
"The complete absence of resettlement pledges from the Gulf is particularly shameful," it continues.
"Linguistic and religious ties should place the Gulf states at the forefront of those offering safe shelter to refugees fleeing persecution and war crimes in Syria."
In addition to China and Russia, Amnesty also berated European nations for taking in low numbers of refugees.
With the exception of Germany, it said, the European Union had pledged to resettle "a paltry 0.17% of refugees in the main host countries".
It added that the apathy from some of the world's richest countries had been exacerbated by scare-mongering over rising immigration across Europe.
