The British government has frozen decisions on Syrian asylum claims as London assesses the current situation, Bloomberg reported today, citing a government spokesman. Britain’s Home Office did not immediately comment on the report. The UK decision, according to the report, comes after Germany, Austria, France and other European countries ordered a freeze on asylum applications from Syrians after the Assad regime was toppled. The war has forced millions of Syrians to flee the country. Most fled to Turkey and other neighboring countries, but Syrians also make up a large proportion of the more than one million refugees and migrants who took refuge in Germany and Austria during the European migration crisis of 2015 and 2016. In the U.K. Kingdom, by the end of February 2021, more than 20,000 Syrian refugees had been resettled under a government program. Source: RES
