A new approach to assisting Syrian refugees must be created that focuses on integrated development, for refugees and hosts alike, involving longer time frames and smarter programmes.
The measures that the European Union has taken towards the refugee crisis are mostly palliative, temporary fixes that leave the EU largely in a reactive mode.
