Refugee Crisis: Britain has ‘moral responsibility’ to help more: Cameron

Britain will take thousands of more refugees from camps on the borders of war-torn Syria, as well as providing an additional £100m (€136m) in aid for those fleeing the conflict, prime minister David Cameron has announced.

Downing Street declined to put a precise figure on the number of Syrians who will be admitted to the country, saying details of the scheme were being finalised and will be announced next week.

Speaking during visits to Portugal and Spain, Mr Cameron said that Britain had a “moral responsibility” to help refugees.
