AFP - 26 March 20 15 - The number of asylum-seekers in industrialized countries rose by nearly half last year, driven by the devastating conflicts in Syria and Iraq, with Germany the top destination, the UN refugee agency said Thursday.

The surge is linked to the spiraling conflicts in Syria and Iraq, which have created 'the worst humanitarian crisis of our era,' spokeswoman Melissa Fleming told reporters.
