HOW YOU CAN HELP EUROPE’S HUMANITARIAN CRISIS.
0 B documentWe all know how desperate the situation is in Northern France, but here is a way that YOU can help, wherever you live. Please read below, and share with other people.
Baroness Shas Sheehan has written about the refugee crisis on our doorstep but for immediate action, writes :
Tim Farron has been superb on the issue of the humanitarian crisis in Europe. He was the first Leader of any party to visit the camp in Calais; in Lesvos he witnessed the desperation and fear of those fleeing Assad; for many months he has been calling for 3000 unaccompanied children in Europe to be brought to the UK.
Whilst lawyers and parliamentarians challenge the Government to implement the safe and legal routes into the UK, thousands upon thousands of people on the run from brutal regimes are suffering the most appalling conditions.
Humanitarian aid is needed.
What you can do to help
Many Liberal Democrats have been asking what they can sensibly do to help. So here are some suggestions:
