Migrant crisis: EU to boost aid to agencies
European Union leaders have pledged another €1bn to help UN agencies support Syrian refugees in the Middle East, as part of renewed efforts to tackle the EU's migrant crisis.
More help will be extended to Syria's neighbours, where millions have fled since the country's conflict began.
The leaders also agreed on strengthening EU external borders.
About half a million migrants have arrived in Europe this year, exposing deep divisions within the EU.
The emergency summit in Brussels got under way amid a bitter row over the relocation of 120,000 migrants.
