The European Union says it is ready to accept up to 10,000 Iraqi refugees, many of whom are living in extreme hardship in Jordan and Syria.
The agreement came at an EU meeting in Brussels on Thursday, where interior ministers received a new report on conditions at refugee camps.
Germany said it would take in about 2,500 of the refugees.
