British Prime Minister David Cameron was expected to say Friday many more Syrian refugees would be allowed into the United Kingdom.<br />Cameron has bowed to public pressure at home and to political momentum in the European Union to do more to address a growing humanitarian crisis as tens of thousands of people - Syrians fleeing the Islamic State, but also Iraqis, Eritreans, Nigerians, Albanians and many others - flee to Europe.<br />Britain has accepted since 2014 just a few hundred of the four million Syrians who have fled the conflict-ravaged nation.<br />Germany, by contrast, has already registered over 40,000 Syrian asylum seekers this year and is expected to absorb around 800,00 refugees and migrants before the year is out.<br />The British leader is expected to make the announcement in Spain, where he will discuss the issue Friday with his Spanish and Portuguese counterparts.
