CAMPAIGNERS calling for larger numbers of refugees to be welcomed in Britain will hold a vigil today outside Downing Street.
The event has been called by the Stand Up To Racism campaign on the back of a series of reports about refugees suffering from hypothermia and freezing in camps across eastern Europe.
Organiser Sabby Dhalu said: “Across Europe we are seeing refugees without proper shelter, warmth, food and sanitation and aid agencies lacking resources to cope.
“In 21st-century Europe human beings should not be living like this.
“With winter approaching unless EU governments including Britain step up and do more, this situation will worsen.”
Hundreds are expected to assemble in front of No 10 and warn Prime Minister David Cameron of the impending catastrophe.
Anti-racism activist Weyman Bennett added: “Thousands of people could freeze to death in camps this winter because David Cameron is telling them there is no room at the inn.”
