The Syrian Refugee Crisis Has Received Massive Media Coverage

Did you know that refugees have been around since World War II? Due to the war and the aggression from the Nazis, over 55 million people became refugees during the whole World War II era. Around one million people still needed a place to stay after five years since the war had ended. The Cold War, mini wars and battles in Mozambique, Africa, Afghanistan, Rwanda, The Soviet Union, etc, as well as The Vietnam War were some of the causes for refugee population increase and displacement during 1960-2000 era. According to the UNHCR, ever since the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center Buildings to present time, there has been over 60 million refugees displaced, surpassing the World War II numbers. The ongoing Syrian War has had a tremendous

As one of the worst refugee crises since World War Two, the Syrian Refugee Crisis has caused many people to flee for their lives from their homes in Syria in hopes of finding their safe haven. According to the White House’s government-controlled website, “since 2011, almost 12 million people, equivalent to half of the Syrian population, have been displaced by the conflict, including 7.6 displaced inside Syria” (whitehouse.gov). Around the globe, many government officials have taken on welcoming attitudes towards the millions of people that are seeking refuge from their war-ridden home-country, while some other officials have taken on very cautious dispositions mainly in fear of consequently making their people vulnerable to attacks. Within

In conclusion, the refugee crisis is a real problem that needs to be solved. Even though the crisis continues to rise, the governments need to find a way to help the refugees. The United States and Europe should not be the only ones giving aid. The Syrian government should also change their beliefs and help their own

In 2011, conflict began in Syria and has led to 2.5 million Syrian refugees today, contributing to a total of 10.5 million refugees worldwide. This catastrophe has caused economic,

A refugee is a human being, which is overlooked many times when examining situations in the Middle East. The inhumane behavior in the Middle East is becoming desensitized; so much so many western media outlets are avoiding it. These refugees possess the same inalienable rights as any other human; however, ISIS is constantly terminating them. Numerous western countries (or affluent middle eastern countries) with a well-developed infrastructure are currently failing to assist in a large-scale humanitarian effort to combat this assault on human rights. Thus, putting stress on countries surrounding the “hot zone” or major migration areas, are being forced to compromise their economic and political development to ensure the safety of over four million Syrian Refugees. These Syrian refugees are escaping persecution and indoctrination to face a new onset of problems in these unequipped nations. Immediately, the major countries of the world need to create a comprehensive effort to resolve the dehumanization in the Middle East and assist the “hub” nations care for these people.

The Iraqi refugee situation is one of the worst refugee situations in the entire world totalling above 1.5 million people. The refugees were singled out due to two possible reasons, one being the war in Iraq that was an attempt at the stop of Saddam Hussein and his government and the second being religious persecution. With the war being completely destructive of certain areas, in addition to fear and little notice, random citizens of Iraq are thrown out of their homes and placed elsewhere. The refugees are forced to take their families far away from their home, making life all the more difficult by hulting education, loss of valuables, loss of money, and all without security that they will be able to find a new place to call home. The

After a long day at school or work you go home, have a snack, watch some television and do homework or chores. Then you have a nice, quiet dinner with your family and can go to bed. In the world, this is what society regards as the “norm.” Now think of laboring ten times as hard for no pay but for your freedom; barely having scraps to eat and stressing over the fact that your tarp roof might blow away and leave you unprotected during the night. Sadly, this is the “norm” for most Syrian refugees. Around the world, countries can help the crisis in Syria politically by looking past differences and uniting with refugees, economically by realizing that helping refugees will advance our economy rather than diminish

Increases in human trafficking is also directly connected to the political conflict; with over 9 million refugees fleeing the country in nations via Lebanon and Egypt (), countries that are fragmented such as Libya have become important bases for terrorists groups to “operate with almost complete immunity.” they are being deceived and taken advantage of by smugglers. Most migrants are coerced to work for months in stops on the smuggling routes, where sexual violence and physical abuse is common at the hands of smugglers and fellow refugees alike. (NYTIMES) These victims of oppression believe they will be given safe passage to the West, notably to Northern European countries, when in reality they are put on a hazardous journey. This past January alone, at least 113 refugees died at sea in attempts to reach Europe. To prevent further deaths of innocent victims, it is crucial that something must be done. For militia groups, illegal migration is one of the “largest sources of income in Libya” since the fall of Gadhafi. This crisis has also become a “self-inflicted refugee emergency.” With the attitudes of local communities towards refugees hardening, Syrian refugees have been making the journey now before they are completely ostracized and the weather is

The conflict in Syria between the government of Bashar al-Assad and various other forces, which started in the spring of 2011, continues to cause displacement within the country and across the region. By the end of 2014, approximately 7.6 million people were internally displaced and 3.7 million Syrians had fled the country since the start of the conflict. Over 21.5 million people, or half of the country’s pre-war population, have been displaced. The refugee situation is urgent, and it has placed an enormous burden on

The refugee crisis consists Syrian refugees that were forced out of their country by Bashar al-Assad because of the war that has gone on for four years and continues. Bombs were dropped, guns were shot at the Syrians, and their houses were destroyed. The Syrians traveled thirty seven days and 1,500 miles to Turkey, Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Hungary, and through Australia to arrive in Germany. The refugees were also able to travel across the Mediterranean sea and thousands died as they crossed the sea in boats and were either swamped or capsized in the rough waters with over fifty refugees aboard. The Mediterranean, Coast of Libya had shipwrecked with over 100 Libyan refugees on board in fear of their life, only up to twenty seven survived the shipwreck. This almost tripled the asylum applications in many European countries

Over the course of less than five years, the Syrian civil war has caused the displacement of over 10 million people of this nation. The rise of ISIS in conjunction with a corrupt government has left millions of men, women, and children without a country to call their home, and the branding of refugee status. Within the international system, sovereign nations have a responsibility to provide for these persons under the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (Cherem 2015). While this expectation for more well off nations to provide for those in need across the world may be the moral answer, it is certainly no small task. With an increasingly dangerous and destabilized global system, in which terrorist attacks such as the recent incidents in Paris and Brussels are becoming commonplace, there is hesitancy amongst many western nations to harbor these at-risk populations. Regardless of the risks that states incur when hosting refugees, many nations do have a moral obligation to provide for the innocent Syrians that have lost their homes. European nations with adequate resources available to support their populations that are politically and economically stable do not have the moral authority to block refugees from entering their state. However, if the mass admittance of refugees into a state would likely cause the nation’s collapse, that state should not be morally obligated to accept more refugees that it can realistically sponsor.

It has been five years since the Syrian Civil war started. Nothing has changed, Bashar Al Assad still in the presidency, innocent people are dying progressively in an enormous numbers and the world community is becoming blind, pretending it does not know what is happening in the country and still promote for a peaceful solution. Many Syrian people decided to live by leaving the country. They have been migrated to neighboring countries, in addition, the European countries. They became unwanted emigrants, and they have been rejected by the seas and the world. There is a huge misunderstanding which surrounding the Syrian civil war which has to be clarify. I will go through this research point by point in order to

Thesis: Millions of Syrian refugees are being hunted and displaced from their homes, while the majority of the world closes their blinds from this present day massacre. Resolving the Syrian refugee crisis is a complex and daunting task, but the future of their lives rest in the palms of our hands and it is our moral obligation to interfere and aid the innocent.

The violent civil unrest that broke out in Syria in mid-March 2011 continued to expand and increasingly impacted civilians throughout 2012. Syrians and migrant workers alike have been affected by the armed conflict, causing a critically large number of people to be forcibly displaced from their homes and to seek protection in other regions and neighboring countries. The level of security risk, lack of basic resources and quality of available information are factors that continue to determine when and where Syrian nationals and migrants decide to move. Most of the affected populations have been internally displaced prior to being forced to move across borders into safer zones in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. Shelter, food, water and

The Syrian Refugee crisis began in 2011 and has continued to grow in numbers of refugees since that year. As of December 31rst, 2015, the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) has stated that there are 4 602 203 registered refugees. Since 2011, countries that the refugees have fled to include Lebanon, Turkey, and Jordan, and Turkey has accepted the most refugees, 2 500 000. A total of 8 000 000 € has been spent on tending to the refugee’s presence in Turkey. The refugees continue to flee Syria to escape the horror’s of ISIS and the main reason that refugees are fleeing is due to the Syrian Civil War, the war that has sparked an estimated 6 000 000 refugees to flee and look for new homes in neighboring countries. The crisis is ongoing and the EU countries are showing to be greatly affected by the issue.
