The Sun today launched a campaign urging the UK to give 3,000 orphan refugee children foster homes in the UK. This figure is based on the UN's "fair shair" analysis that Britain should take a proportion of 26,000 migrant orphans in Europe.

The move comes as the story of three-year-old Aylan Kurdi, pictured drowned on a Turkish beach, and that of his family continues to dominate the UK national press.

The Sun has also today urged readers to make donations to Save the Children’s Child Refugee Crisis appeal which provides food and health checks for migrant children arriving in Italy and Greece. Readers are also asked to donate £5 by texting Aylan to 70008 on their phones.
