Britain Plan To Accept 4,000 After Tragic Death Of Mother n Children

The father of Aylan Kurdi, his five-year-old brother and their mother, whose bodies washed ashore in Turkey after they drowned while trying to cross to Greece, has identified them in a morgue in the town of Mugla.
The haunting picture of Aylan lying face down in the sand captured the attention of the world and is said to have stirred the world community into action.

David Cameron is expected to announce details of new measures that could see several thousand refugees living in camps along the Syrian border resettled in Britain, Sky News understands.

The Prime Minister's change of attitude to the migration crisis comes in the face of growing public and political pressure to respond to the migration crisis unfolding across Europe and the UK plans to accept 4,000 refuge.

More than 300,000 people have signed an online petition urging the Government to act.

Britain has faced criticism for refusing to join an EU scheme to resettle migrants and has failed to match Germany and Sweden, which have opened their doors to large numbers of refugees.

Urgent work is now said to be taking place in Whitehall on the nature of Mr Cameron's plan, which is expected to result in Britain accepting "several thousand" refugees living in UN camps on the Syrian border.

This would be rather than the UK opening its doors to the desperate migrants who have poured into European front countries like Greece and Italy from across the Mediterranean.
