World Vision CEO Edgar Sandoval said the group has never faced a situation that has become so severe so quickly.
“What I saw was the statistics coming to life before my very eyes. It is already Europe’s fastest-growing refugee crisis since World War II,” he said.
Sandoval was on the ground for three days at two border points in Romania. He met a man named Vladimir and his special needs son, Bogdan, who had made it to a shelter run by World Vision. The CEO said his tours of World Vision’s sites crystallized that most refugees are trying to get to cities far from the conflict and don’t want to be waiting at borders.
“We’re in the thousands of people that we’ve helped already, probably 12,000 to 15,000,” Sandoval said.
