Condition of the refugees

This is the worst humanitarian crisis since World War II. All of the people inside Syria as well as the refugees outside the country are in need of food, clothes, shelter and medical care. The majority of them had to leave everything behind when they left the country, and so after travelling for such a long distance in terrible conditions the things they did manage to bring are no longer in condition of being used. Once they are past the dangers, they are stuck with no food or nothing having to wait at borders.


At the heart of this issue are the children. More than any they are especially at risk, even more during the harsh crossing of the sea. More than 3000 have died just in 2015. Obviously most of them are currently not attending school and so will not have a proper education unless we help them.


At least there are some charity groups that are already trying to help them. Even the population of some countries that see the syrian refugees cross their country offer them some food or even shelter. Groups go meet them at key border crossings to give them clothes, food and any basic thing required to live. Due to the scale of the crisis even with this help the refugees are far from being in a good position. A lot more money and ressources are required to be able to give them even just basic humanitary needs, and this is where all of us around the world need to take part.
