Brussels, September 5 (RHC)-- In news from Europe, leaders are holding another round of emergency talks about how to respond to the hundreds of thousands of people seeking refuge after fleeing violence in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Eritrea, Nigeria and other regions, 

Meanwhile, people across the world took to social media to demand nations do more to welcome refugees.   On Friday, British Prime Minister David Cameron pledged to accept thousands more Syrians after more than 250,000 people signed a petition created by the news outlet The Independent demanding that England "accept its fair share of refugees seeking safety in Europe." 

This comes on the heels of news that more than 10,000 Icelanders have volunteered to house Syrian refugees in their own homes.  The United States is also coming under fire for resettling only 1,500 Syrians since the violence began.
