Tens of thousands of Syrian refugees are moving towards Turkey's border as they flee heavy fighting near Aleppo.

The Turkish Prime Minister said up to 70,000 may be travelling to his border, while a monitoring group put the number at about 40,000.

Yesterday, world leaders pledged some €9 billion to tackle the Syrian refugee crisis at a conference in London.

Ireland pledged €20 million, which brings our total support to €62 million.
