    826 Words  | 4 Pages

    Approximately 4.8 million refugees have fled to Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, and Iraq. Additionally, 6.6 million refugees are internally displaced inside of Syria. Most of these refugees are being treated as if they aren’t equal members of society, their rights are being stripped from them and they are being dehumanized through various poor treatment.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Refugees

    972 Words  | 4 Pages

    Leaders and governments around the world have labelled refugees as being a burden on their country either directly or indirectly. These leaders only see them as people who are trying to get into their country to escape the civil war, but fail to see that the refugees are also risking their lives in the process. At present, there are approximately 54.5 million refugees that are displaced, the largest refugee crisis the world has ever seen and they have nowhere to go. The question of doing the right thing and taking them in has been squashed due to various reasons and it appears to be that each country has adopted the ‘each man for himself’ policy by stating that it is their duty to only look after its citizens and no one else.
