“The European Union must take action to solve the dramatic situation of the Christian refugees in Iraq. This tragedy that already affects 37.5% of Iraqi Christians risks taking on more and more worrying proportions”. These are the words of Mario Mauro, deputy president of the European Parliament, as he commented the humanitarian emergency that is affecting so many Christian Iraqis, forced to escape death, violence and persecutions. "Many Catholic bishops of the Chaldeian rite have invoked on several occasions the help of the international community continues Mauro . So, the European Union must not hesitate to take action about this emergency, but on the contrary it must give shelter and asylum to the Iraqi refugees, in particular the Christian ones”.
