Thousands of children and their families who have sought refuge in the UK have been pushed into severe poverty by the low levels of asylum support, a parliamentary inquiry has revealed, concluding that the support system for asylum seekers is in urgent need of reform. The inquiry found evidence of children being left destitute and homeless, without state support, and forced to rely on food parcels. (Amelia Gentleman, The Guardian, 30/01/13)
