Tonnes of donations from East Yorkshire have helped

thousands of Syrian refugees at camps in Greece and France.

But one volunteer from Hull charity Help for Refugee

says that the crisis is quickly being forgotten.

One of three weekly sorting sessions under way in Hull.

from Hollywood films. More than 200 people have

now been photographed, but the aim is to achieve 365

in a park, by accident. But many people came from all over

the country to solve puzzles in the town's art gallery that

Potentially I'll start to the working week, cloud with drizzle

sinking towards the south-east, it will be cloudy, misty, quite mild

night, temperatures around double figures, lots of nine or 10 Celsius,

come with a lot of cloud, and already, it is misty out there.
