Seeking to allay Europe's fast-worsening refugee crisis, a top E.U. leader proposed on Wednesday a plan to redistribute 160,000 asylum-seekers across the continent.<br />The plan would be one of the largest-ever, Europe-wide efforts to address any migration crisis.<br />But with thousands of men, women and children fleeing conflict and poverty reaching the continent's shores each day, it fell far short of the need.<br />Nor was it clear whether all E.U. nations would support it.<br />Under the proposal unveiled Wednesday by European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, the European Union would allocate quotas of refugees to 22 nations across Europe.<br />The 160,000 asylum-seekers would be spread across them, taken from the vast numbers who have already arrived in the frontline nations of Greece, Italy and Hungary.
