• ANALYSIS

The West has historically thrown a lot of money at the problem of refugees. Problem is: it doesn't work.

One in five of the world's displaced come from Syria. Nearly two million have ended up in Turkey, like 10-year-old Afaf and baby Sufian.

At The Jungle in Calais, France, thousands of people seeking a new life stand in rags on the threshold of Britain. Daniel is one of them.

Around the world, 38 million are displaced within their own countries - they could be the refugees of tomorrow. From North Korea, Pak Sol-hwa risked everything to cross into China.

A record 34,000 unaccompanied minors applied for asylum in 82 countries last year. Six-year-old Daniel made the journey to the US with two other children to escape a life of crime.

Australia resettled 11,600 people in 2014. But in our neighbourhood, thousands of genuine refugees remain in limbo. Khadim Dai is one.
