Britain has allowed just 24 Syrians to move to the UK under a special relocation programme for vulnerable refugees set up by David Cameron in the face of millions of desperate people fleeing the civil war.
The Syrian vulnerable persons relocation scheme was established in January after the UK declined to participate in a UN-administered resettlement programme.
According to the most recent figures, 2.8 million Syrians have fled the country since the war began more than three years ago, with a further 6.5 million forcibly displaced inside Syria.
Neighbouring countries are struggling to cope with the influx, with no sign of abatement. There are about 1.1 million UN-registered refugees in Lebanon, making up a quarter of that country's population; 760,000 in Turkey; 600,000 in Jordan, and 200,000 in Iraq. Many more are unregistered or awaiting registration.
