BBC Radio 4 - A Point of View, Little Amal

Michael Morpurgo tells the story of one child refugee, heading our way.

Michael Morpurgo argues that Global Britain must play its part in welcoming refugees from Afghanistan.

As thousands of Afghan refugees look to make their home in the UK, Michael Morpurgo tells the story of one child refugee, Little Amal. 

"Surely," he argues, "just as we now fully acknowledge our global responsibility to restore the world about us, the world we ourselves have damaged, so we must play our part as one of the richest nations on earth, to welcome in as many refugees as we can, to give them safe haven with us, to treat them right, as we know we should." 

Producer: Adele Armstrong 
Recorded by James Vickery of Radio Devon
