Hillary Clinton calls for world to 'do more'

Hillary Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, told AP that: "everyone should be asked to do more" to help the migrants and refugees. 

"I think we need to have a broad-based global response," Clinton said in an interview published on Tuesday. "The United States certainly should be at the table, but so should everybody else."

"And if countries are not able to do more physically in taking in these refugees, they should do more financially," she said, in a clear reference to oil-rich Gulf states who have been widely criticised for not taking in any Syrian refugees. 

"They should be funding a lot of the resettlement work and supporting those countries that are bearing the burden of the refugees," Clinton said.
