Britain wants long-term plan from World Bank for refugee crisis

International development secretary Justine Greening called on bank to 'ensure refugees have chance of getting jobs'

Britain is urging the World Bank to put together a long-term plan to meet the needs of refugees following a summer dominated by a migration crisis that has put strains on the European Union.

Justine Greening, the international development secretary, told the bank's annual meeting in Lima that short-term emergency assistance was not enough and that a strategy was needed to provide schools, hospitals and work for those displaced.
