Sir Erich Reich, Association of Jewish Refugees chairman, has called on David Cameron to do more to “help some of the most vulnerable victims” of the refugee crisis.
The former Kindertransport refugee said the Prime Minister should accept 3,000 unaccompanied child refugees from Syria.
In a letter to Mr Cameron, Sir Erich urged him to “demonstrate compassion” and said that he had learned of the rejection of resettlement proposals “with great sadness”.
Fellow Kinder Lord Dubs took an amendment to the House of Lords asking for the admission of 3000 children into Britain, but the proposal was rejected by MPs last month in the House of Commons.
