(MENAFN- Qatar News Agency) London January 28 (QNA) - The British government has announced plans to allow an unspecified number of vulnerable refugee children to come to Britain to live.
The announcement Thursday comes after charities have urged Britain to take in some 3000 children believed to be at risk.
Immigration Minister James Brokenshire says Britain will work with the United Nations refugee agency to identify "exceptional cases" in which unaccompanied children would be given shelter in Britain.
The new program is in addition to the 4000 refugees per year that Britain has agreed to settle. (QNA)
