Amir Khan Pledges More Refugee Aid

Published 23rd Sep 2015

Bolton boxer Amir Khan says he intends to visit Syrian refugees in Greece again after returning from his recent trip there to help overseas the delivery of aid.

Khan helped organise the delivery of thousands of pounds worth of aid to Syrian refugees on the island of Lesbos after seeing the images of the small boy who drowned trying to flee Syria.

Seven vans full of aid such as bottles of water, sleeping bags and food set off from Khan’s gym last week and the boxer flew over to Lesbos to join them a few days later.

Khan says he intends to send more vans to Lesbos in a few weeks’ time due to the amount of donations he’s received.
