Going against his insistence on Wednesday August 2, that Britain would not accept “more and more” migrants, British Prime Minister, David Cameron is expected to announce that Britain will accept thousands more Syrian asylum seekers.
Information revealed that the government is preparing plans to resettle the refugees fleeing Isil jihadists and conflict in the region in an attempt to fulfill what it termed its “moral obligation”.
Cameron's insistence on not accepting more migrants into the United Kingdom came as the crisis showed no sign of ceasing. Hours after the decision, images emerged of the lifeless body a three-year-old boy later identified as Aylan Kurdi, a Syrian refuge, lying lifeless on Bodrum beach in Turkey. Aylan drowned alongside his mother Rehen and elder brother Galip, while trying to flee war ravaged Syria.
