Finland's Prime Minister Juha Sipila offers to share his house with refugees

The Prime Minister of Finland, Juha Sipila, has said he is willing to open his home to refugees. Moved by the plight of Syrian migrants, Sipila told national broadcaster YLE that his private residence in Kempele, in the north of the country, is not being used at the moment and could be available to house asylum seekers from the start of next year.

"We should all look in the mirror and ask ourselves how we can help ... My house is not being used much at the moment. My family lives in Sipoo [east of Helsinki] and the prime minister's residence is located in Kesaranta," said Sipila. The prime minister also called on other citizens, churches and voluntary organisations in the country of five million inhabitants to open their facilities to asylum seekers.
