Geneva: The United Nations refugee agency voiced shock on Wednesday at Hungary`s turning back of refugees and preventing them from entering the European Union with water cannons and tear gas, noting that many were Syrian families.
Antonio Guterres, UN High Commissioner for Refugees, urged Hungarian authorities to ensure "unimpeded access" for people as they flee wars and persecution.
