German Chancellor Angela Merkel called on European Union leaders to take speedy action to alleviate the continent’s asylum crisis following the discovery of as many as 50 dead refugees near the Austrian capital.
“This is a warning for us to tackle the issue of migration quickly,” Merkel said at a conference on EU-Balkan relations Thursday in Vienna. “We have more refugees in the world than at any time since World War II. The world’s eyes are upon us.”
