David Cameron: UK will take thousands more refugees from Syrian border

Britain will take “thousands more” refugees from camps on the borders of war-torn Syria, as well as providing an additional £100m in aid for those fleeing the conflict, British 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 that details of the scheme were being finalised and will be announced next week.
