The UK is to provide resettlement to ‘thousands’ more Syrian refugees in response to the worsening humanitarian crisis, David Cameron has announced. No specific figure has been decided but the PM said the extra refugees would come from camps bordering Syria, and not from among people already in Europe. Britain, he said, would act with “head and heart” to help those most in need. The UN has said EU countries should accept up to 200,000 refugees. Earlier this week, Cameron said accepting more people was not the answer to the situation, described by some as the worst humanitarian crisis since World War Two.
