Fighting the causes of the refugee crisis has come to sound like “a hollow phrase”, Cem Özdemir, Green Party leader, told the Funk Media Group.
Hundreds of thousands of Syrians are trapped in Aleppo in northern Syria, said Özdemir.
“This is an unimaginable misery – and the world barely takes any notice. Angela Merkel is completely ignoring this and other humanitarian catastrophes.”
He was ashamed, he said, “due to the failure of the world community, of Europe and above all of Germany”.
At her summer press conference on Thursday, Merkel pledged to do more to fight the causes of the refugee crisis which has brought hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers to Germany over the last 12 months.
