GENEVA -The U.N. refugee chief urged countries Wednesday to help some 6 million people around the world living in long-term limbo, unable to return to the country from which they fled or integrate properly into the society in which they live.

Antonio Guterres said the rich world should do more for developing countries struggling to cope with 30 protracted refugee situations — from hundreds of thousands of Afghans still stranded in Pakistan and Iran, to Burmese refugees who have now been living 16 years in Bangladesh.

“The international community has not done enough to share that burden,” Guterres, the U.N. high commissioner for refugees, told U.N. members in Geneva.
