Asylum in Stoke: refugee camp rescue....

(Broadcast on BBC Radio Stoke)

A Syrian refugee has told BBC Radio Stoke how human traffickers separated her from her four children as she escaped the conflict in her country.

The mother of five's husband was killed in the civil war and while she and her youngest daughter reached the UK to seek asylum, her four eldest children were left in a refugee camp in Bulgaria.

The vicar of St Marks Church in Shelton has travelled to Bulgaria to trace the children and move them to safety.
