News and Reports

Syrian Current Crisis Situation

At the end of 2016, UNHR reports over 5.8 million children are effected among the 13.5 million total people in Syria effected by the Syrian Conflict. In addition, over 4.8 million people have registered as refugee's by the end of 2016.

How Did The Refugee Crisis Start?

Picture
Since 2011, the Syrian refugee crisis has forced more than 5.6 million Syrians to flee their country and displaced 6.6 million people from their homes. A majority of refugees have fled to neighboring countries such as Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt. Turkey alone hosts over 3 million people inside their refugee camps.

UNHR Reports On Refugee Livelihoods: Jordan

As the conflict in Syria enters its seventh year, refugees continue to live in precarious situations; savings have been depleted, social support networks have weakened and access to economic opportunities remains limited. Over 660,000 refugees from Syria are registered with UNHCR in Jordan, with 297,000 men and women of working age.

Why Do People Hate Suffering Refugees?

​Millions of people are suffering in refugee camps around the world. Their lives destroyed, their loved ones murdered, their homes obliterated, they’ve been forced to travel thousands of miles to escape persecution and almost certain death. And many of us hate them for it. Why is it that these suffering individuals - many children among them - evoke such unprecedented hatred from certain factors of society.

Syrian Refugees See Security,
Restoration of Dignity

Picture
A new report from the International Center for Transitional Justice argues that discussions about a future return of refugees and coexistence among groups currently at war in Syria must begin now, even in the face of ongoing violence and displacement. The report makes it clear that the restoration of refugees’ sense of dignity will be important to creating the necessary conditions for return and peaceful coexistence — and building a stable post-war Syria one day.
