Resettlement for Syria’s refugees
Escaping war, Syrian refugees find new challenges abroad.
Syria’s war will soon enter its fifth year, and many are still trying to move on. Of the 10 million Syrians fleeing violence since 2011, about 4 million have sought refuge in countries like Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan. Some are registered refugees in camps, while others find illegal means of escaping to what they hope is safety. We’ll discuss the Syrian refugee crisis and challenges of resettlement at 1930GMT.
