Much as one can empathise with this British family and others who give their time in helping these peoples, but when are they going to understand, it is not their or even our fault that these people chose to pay traffickers so as to cross the sea in unseaworthy vessels.

They themselves chose their course of action, and by helping them, it will only encourage more to take the gamble, and there is no end to the possible vast numbers that they are encouraging to risk their lives.

A billion in total foreign aid or are you saying a billion goes to Lebanon alone?

So you reckon there are no state benefits on offer to them there, then? How did they last three years there before giving up and taking the dinghy route? Maybe Turkey was generous about handing out 'instant jobs'?
