migration crisis
Refugee surge emergency
A migration crisis is a situation where large numbers of people flee their home regions simultaneously, overwhelming the capacity of destination countries or transit routes to absorb them.
The term gained currency during the 2015 European refugee crisis and often carries political freight—framing migration as emergency rather than ongoing phenomenon.
The migration crisis dominated headlines for months.
