Winter is coming: the new crisis for refugees in Europe

There has been a lot of talk about the Syrian refugees the last couple months and it's not going to get any easier for them. The winter is coming fast which obviously means that these refugees will need shelter fast. Some of the Balkan states have agreed to take in 100,000 refugees and sheltering them. But, an estimated 700,000 have arrived this year and there is only so much room for them. Many have been trapped in the open which now with winter coming will cause possible sickness and hypothermia. The UN refugee agency is delivering care packages with clothing, sleeping bags, etc. to try and soften the blow for them. Now sex traffickers are following some of these young refugees and picking them up. Europe is doing all they can coming up with ideas to help out these refugees. I'm interested to see what happens and hopefully many are saved by the help of the states.
