THE catastrophe faced by people fleeing the Middle East and Africa to reach Europe should not be described as a “migrant crisis”, a leading development charity has warned.
A report by Global Justice Now urged politicians, commentators and the media to avoid using the term as it was misleading and “demonised” those caught up in the situation.
The National’s policy is to avoid using the term, however, the BBC, the UK’s most influential news outlet, controversially does.
Global Justice Now insists the disaster should be seen as crisis of inequality, war, and climate change.
