Refugee Crisis In The 21st Century

Bloody conflict, raging terrorism, climate change,... A lot of events have made the early 21st century become an unforgettable time for human. Especially, one of the most difficult problem in the world is refugee crisis. Antonio Gutierrez -the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees once said: “It is time to fight for peace”. And in my opinion, I extremely support this notion. It is about time. All of us .

For the definition of a legal term, refugee crisis, generally speaking, can refer to movements of large groups of displaced people, who could be either internally displaced people, refugees or other migrants. In 2016, there are totally 21,3 million refugees all around the world but only a small number of them survive. More than five million men, women, children have now fled the Syria civil war, Islamic state and giving refugees a safe home is necessary. It is exactly what they really want now- a safe house. According to world leaders, 10 per cent of all Syria joined a meeting Geneva, but only half of the needed place have been available. More than 28,000 asylum seekers have reached Europe by sea this year – more than 23,000 to Italy and 4,000 to Greece. A record of more than 5,000 migrants drowned, suffocated or froze to death in the Mediterranean in 2016 and almost 1,000 have already died this

This is what the world wants now ? In my oppinion, we should check their personality in a private place before letting them immigrate. Many of them can be a good citizen. Another way is to build a different place for refugees to live in. Take Egyptian billionnaire-Naguib Sawiris as a good example, he intends to buy an island named Aylan for refugees. The image of the three-year-old boy has inspired him. People told it is not an executable plan, but I have a belief that if we really really want, really really pray for it, everything can be done
