Syria’s civil war is the worst humanitarian crisis of modern time. The “Syrian Civil war Began in March of 2011, between rebel brigades and government force; economy and infrastructure is destroyed” (Library, 2016). “Divisions between secular and religious fighters, and between ethnic groups, continue to complicate the politics of the conflict” (Corps, 2016). Additionally, the Syrian civil war has taken a significant

The creation of schools is one of the leading ways to produce hope and stability in refugee camps. Many would love to go to school because, currently they have no other option, but to teach themselves. Refugees can recall having great memories of their past school experiences, which they use as motivation to continue to learn. On account of my involvement with a refugee relief organization, I have been assigned the job of creating schools in the Chechen refugee camps of Chechnya. The primary means of survival and daily focus for these refugees have been through humanitarian aid. That assistance is made

Even though the civil war in syria lasted longer than the Holocaust, the children in the Holocaust suffered a lot more than in syria The children were being used to directly fight in the front line. For example taking parts in combats roles, like suicide bombing or as a prison guard. 2.8 million kids lived in hard to reach areas and 280,000 lived in siege. A siege is a place surrounded by soldiers and no one can get out. That made it hard for children to seek help. An education was hard for children to get, it was extremely unsafe, so many kids left. Food is hard to reach now that a lot of markets are destroyed. Many people have started growing their own food supplies in small kitchen gardens. The starvation rate has gone up so much that some people have started cooking leaves off trees. Nearly 2 million people have no access to any water since the bombing cut of power to the pumps.

Under these circumstances school and education are taking a big part in refugees’ lives for example it says, “I know Pink Boy will get me, but right now I feel smart” (Lai 188). This statement from the book “Inside Out and Back Again” represents how Ha is feeling back home again. She gets to go to school and feels smart just like she did back home. Ha is now becoming happier and feels like she is getting her life back. In the same way schooling and education are making refugees feel back again in the article “Refugees: Who, Where, Why” when it says, “Schooling is provided for children” (Gevert). This statement shows how schooling is helping refugees all over feel like they are back home again. They can get educated from the refugee camps. They may be overcrowded, but it is helping many refugees get a chance for there lives back. It helps refugees feel like there is hope on the other side waiting for them. In addition schooling and education is helping refugees when it says, “Getting better because we can go to school… couldn’t… in Croatia because we are muslims” (Lai ). This statement comes from the book “Inside Out and Back Again“ and is representing how Ha is now able to go to school, and doesn’t have to worry about her race. She feels like she belongs where she is now, and nobody can take that away from her. Given these points,

(“Quick Facts”) If they were accepted by the United States, they could continue the important education that they need; they currently have little to none. The U. N. stated: “ Nearly five years into the crisis, around 4 million children are out of school.” (Kallick et al) If they are not within walking distance, girls’ families will not send them because they are afraid they will not be well protected. (Lemmon) In Aleppo, Syria a concerned father named Rachid Hadri speaks about his kids: “I look at my daughter and my baby. They might grow up to be ignorant or illiterate. They will not know five times five because there is no education anymore.” (What Life Is Like in Aleppo) If they have no education, these children could face a very difficult times soon. In an interview with CNN Wire, Muzaffer Baca, the Vice President of the International Blue Crescent Relief and Development Foundation stated this about the refugee children: “Our future are the children. If we want a good generation we have to educate them, we have to keep them healthy psychologically and physically.”

Children in the country of Syria are being faced to think as adults would, and maturing to fast and losing the fun of being a child. these children were originally either caught in or fighting in the in the Syrian Civil War. now due to ISIS they are being executed for refusing to follow shari'ah law.

of Syria have a lot of struggles in their daily life. Some of the people have no home and they can’t do many things because of the bombings that occur.

Tears have filled my eyes as I am writing this paper. Words cannot express how disable I feel toward these innocent refugees. I have visited Syria once. I have seen how beautiful it is. I have met its people. I have never seen more generous people than Syrians. Also, I am a refugee myself and I know exactly what it feel like to be one. As a Palestinian refugee in Lebanon, I have lived a miserable life without any human rights. Only when I have moved to the United States the condition has changed. As a human being, I am respected here. I am valued and treated equally to others. I never want anybody to be in the same shoes I have been in. They do not deserve what is happening to them. All they are asking for is freedom and they have the full right to have it. All they are protesting for is a life free of Mukhabarat and people spying for

In syria, the lives of children have been greatly affected by the conflict. Numerous violation of children right take place every day in areas such as health and education facilities. Children are on a regular base exposed to escalating violence and explosive weapon attacks. Secondly their homes are being destroyed and

Finally, I find it really unfortunate how so many innocent young kids, our age and even younger have to suffer so much. They’re forced to flee and leave everything behind, strating over in a whole different environment. Often they have other difficult challanges such as the language and communication barriers, financial problems, racism, and

Guilt that derives from the fact our country is not doing more to aide in the refugee crisis. Likewise, this article provokes me to ask the question: why are these images not shown more often in western media? I feel that currently our media is cluttered with useless information regarding inherently trivial stories, none of which compare to the struggles of not only children, but also millions of people. The refugee problem is currently one that I feel is ignored by many for various reasons. However, this article brings to light the horrors that are currently occurring and I feel it should be seen by more people, as the lives of refugees are no less than our own. Even though politicians make out refugees, and even immigrants, to be murderous extremists, the reality is most are nonviolent, normal families seeking a home, something often taken for granted by those in western cultures. The Syrian refugee crisis is, in my opinion, the most overlooked problem in recent history, and demonstrates in inherent issue in our society- we as a culture view these lives as less than our own. Overall, I feel this article does a thorough job of emotionally evoking readers and impacting their views on Syrian refugees and the lives they are forced to

This issue was chosen due to its scope. The Syrian refugee crisis is among a list of issues that will not only shape the world in 2016 but also dominate news outlets in upcoming years. Because of the despairing situation, many governments are struggling to find ways to handle the rush of individuals seeking asylum, for the fact that it seems the crisis is worsening. In addition, the media coverage on the topic sparked my interest and led me to research information because I had no idea what was occurring and the detriment of the issue.

Despite the efforts of parents to keep traditions alive, children are changing, fighting over food, clothing and anything of any value. Many children feel like they are prisoners in their host countries. Many are not allowed to leave their homes due to safety concerns and chores that need to be completed. Twenty-nine percent of Syrian refugees leave their home less than once a week.

Since 2011, Syria has been engaged in a Civil War with protestors against the government and members of the extremist group ISIS, and approximately 7.6 million people have been displaced from their homes (usnews.com 2015). As the conflict destroys more homes and livelihoods each year, an increasing number of civilians have been forced to leave Syria and try to find safety elsewhere. Already a contentious issue, the Syrian refugee crisis has awakened tensions, both economic and social as debate erupts over what to do with the refugees.In response to the crisis, while some countries like Germany have pledged to help the refugees, (New Statesman 2015 1) only 2,340 have been admitted. Clearly, more needs to be done in order to help the refugees. Although there are economic and population concerns to be considered, the humanitarian conflict that faces the refugees and solutions already available are reason enough for Europe to increase the numbers of Syrian refugees allowed in.

Syrian civil war started in 2011 was the outcome of the opposition against the President Bashar al-Assad regime. The uprising emerged as a response to the Arab spring movement that lead to regime change in Tunisia and subsequently turned into mass unrest rooted into the discontent with long-term dictatorship and poor economic situation in the country (Manfreda, n.d.). The number of Syrian citizens killed in the civil war reached 140000 since March 2011 (SBS 2014). The European Commission (2014, 2) reports approximately 9.3 million civilians “in need for humanitarian assistance”. The scale of armed rebellion between government and opposition that lead to an increasing number of casualties among civilians did not remain unnoticed by the
