As migrants head north, Hungary decries ‘humiliating’ EU policy | Reuters

ROSZKE, Hungary Hungary called on Tuesday for more money from the European Union to handle a rising tide of migrants crossing the Balkans, as a new wave hit its southern border and laid bare the cracks in EU policy towards the worst refugee crisis since World War Two. More than 100,000 migrants, many of them refugees from conflicts in the Middle East and Africa, have entered Hungary, part of Europe’s Schengen zone of passport-free travel, this year en route to the more affluent countries of western and northern Europe. The influx ticked up on Monday to its highest daily rate this year – 2,093 – as many race to beat a fence that Hungary is building on its 175-km (110-mile) border with Serbia to keep them out.
