The world needs more humanity if it’s going to solve the refugee crisis, activists urge at TED conference [WashingtonPost.com]

 

In separate, rousing talks Wednesday night, two refugee activists told an audience filled with influential scientists and big thinkers that all the strides in technology have done little to enhance our humanity and that the onus was now on them to help solve the refugee crisis.
