Paris, September 8 (RHC)-- Following massive pressure, some other Western European governments have agreed to accept additional refugees, although the figures remain only a fraction of the number who have entered Europe this year alone.

France has said it will take in 24,000 people over two years. England says it will accept 20,000 people over five years. In Finland, which will accept 1,000 people this year, Prime Minister Juha Sipila announced he would open his guest house to refugee families.

Meanwhile, in Hungary, tensions continue to rise as authorities have blocked people from boarding trains and attempted to herd them into holding camps, forcing thousands to set off by foot on the side of the highway.
