In Syria there has been a civil war going on for the past four years resulting in many Syrians leaving and ending up in refugee camps. The refugees have been leaving Syria and going to different countries including Jordan, Iraq, Egypt, Hungary, and Greece. In Jordan, Iraq, and Egypt there have been many refugees that have arrived and have been welcomed with shelter and food.

However, there are other countries that are not welcoming the refugees. Hungary is showing that they don’t want refugees because they are building a wall at their border so that the refugees don’t enter and the refugees who do enter are sent to camps, which are not adequate for living. Greece isn’t accepting refugees because they are having an economic crisis and can’t even support their own residents. The Syrian Refugee crisis is a serious matter because there are people who are starving and dehydrating all around the world and countries don’t want to help them.

Many people and countries all over the world are taking part to help some refugees even the United States, which has accepted 10,000 more refugees this past month. Even though that isn’t much, the number will hopefully increase and more refugees will find homes.
