The Federal Government has announced it will resettle 500 Syrian refugees as part of its humanitarian refugee program

The places will be quarantined for Syrians within the existing annual refugee intake, which is capped at 13,700

The United Nations says the Syrian crisis is a humanitarian tragedy which has killed more than 100,000 people and driven around 6.5 million others from their homes

More than 2 million refugees have fled Syria, many crossing the borders into Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan, and the international refugee agency UNHCR has called for the pressure on Syria’s neighbours to be eased
