Around 100 refugees are estimated to be coming to the Black Country and Staffordshire if councils agree to take a share of the 20,000 the UK has vowed to accept.

The figure is worked out based on Wolverhampton council alone planning for around 20 individuals.

Meanwhile oil-rich Arab states have been urged to show compassion to their neighbours in Syria and accept refugees.

Muhammad Yaseen Khan, President of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Wolverhampton said:

“Genuine refugees are facing great difficulties. They have been forced to leave their countries due to the intolerable conditions and so should be treated with love, compassion and kindness.

"The entire world will have to show compassion and open hearts for this crisis to be handled. Rather than looking at their own interests only, nations will have to consider their moral responsibilities to those who are suffering.

"Proper control measures should be in place to make sure that the refugees are genuine and not extremists or terrorists posing as refugees.

“The world should also seek an enduring resolution to the crisis so that in six to 12 months from now we are not faced with another migrant crisis.“
