The UK's embarrassing record on refugee resettlement - in one chart

One year ago, images of a drowned Syrian boy washed up on a beach in Turkey shocked the world.

Politicians said they would act. That the greatest refugee crisis since the Second World War had to be fixed. That Alan Kurdi's death would not be in vain.

The British government pledged to take in 20,000 refugees by 2020. Twelve months on from his death and it's already behind.

Only 2,800 refugees have been resettled in the UK to date. In comparison, Germany has taken in hundreds of thousands, and as the Independent's Tom Peck points out, 7,000 were rescued in a single day in Italy last week.

With nearly five million people displaced by war in Syria, the UK is far from taking its fair share of refugees.

This chart by Statista, comparing numbers pledged by European countries compared to the sizes of their economies, outlines just how poor the UK's record on refugee resettlement really is:

As Alan's father Abdullah said:

The politicians said after the deaths in my family: ‘Never again’.

Everyone claimed they wanted to do something because of the photo that touched them so much. But what is happening now?

People are still dying and nobody is doing anything about it.
