The White House says the U.S. is preparing to accept at least 10,000 Syrian refugees in the next fiscal year, which begins October 1.
Spokesman Josh Earnest said President Obama had informed his team he would like them to prepare to accept the refugees who are fleeing Syria’s civil war.
Earnest said the U.S. was providing $4 billion in financial assistance to relief agencies and others, making it the largest aid donor in the humanitarian crisis. He called the financial aid “the most effective way by far” to help those on the ground.
