David Cameron pledges another £100m for Syria refugee camps

Updated

David Cameron has said Britain is to commit another £100 million to supporting refugees in camps bordering Syria as he arrived for an emergency EU summit on the migrant crisis.

Arriving in Brussels, the Prime Minister said £40 million of the additional cash would go to support the underfunded World Food Programme.

"We must make sure that people in refugee camps are properly fed, and looked after, not least to help them but also to stop people wanting to make or thinking of making this very, very difficult and very dangerous journey to Europe," he said.
