GERMANY has temporarily suspended its participation in a United Nations resettlement programme, the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) confirmed today.
The programme is intended for refugees in urgent need of protection, such as children, victims of torture, or those in need of medical treatment, who cannot remain in their first country of arrival.
