Britain has announced that it will take in 3,000 child refugees

The Dhaka Times Desk Britain has announced that it will take in 3,000 child refugees. Britain has announced that it will take 3,000 child refugees from war-torn Syria by 2020, who have no parents or other relatives.

The country's government says it will be the largest child rehabilitation program in the world at the moment. Many children have been separated from their families in the war in Syria, many of whose parents have died in the war. Many children have fled Syria and sought refuge in Middle East and North African countries.

Britain said the program would see them resettled through the United Nations refugee agency UNHCR.

Earlier, the country's Prime Minister David Cameron had announced to accept 20,000 refugees by 2020, these children will fall outside the calculation.

Meanwhile, critics say thousands of Syrian refugee children have already lost parents or guardians and are being trafficked and abused after crossing into European countries, a move that will do them no good.
