Syrian Child Refugees
Have you ever heard of the Syrian kids? Do you know what they go through everyday just to find food, water or shelter? This corrupt countrie has gone through a lot through the past 8 years. According to World Vision, syria is the most dangerous place to be a child in the world. Forget afghanistan, pakistan, india, and venezuela. Children are dying because of the bombs, even though they did not do anything to cause that. I brought you here to talk about kids suffering, the countries past and causes of the war, and finally were the kids are fleeing to.
In addition, Kids in syria are dying because they don't have the needs they need for example food, clothes, medication, water, money, etc.. According to World Vision, 5.3 million kids need humanitarian aid NOW, in syria there are 4 zones called de-escalation zones. de-escalation zones are places in syria that can not be bombed. As i was saying kids need humanitarian aid even though they are in de-escalation zones. There are kids that also need therapy because they saw their family die in front of them, imagine how that would feel to see your own parents die. Because of the lack of food kids are eating from trash cans or remains to survive, because they are eating unhealthy or filthy food they are getting diseases. According to BBC they interviewed a little girl and she said that her family had to eat their pet cat because of the lack of food.
To add on, This war started in 2011 it has been 7 years from when it started and people keep protesting to the war to stop. This war started because of political differences but still if you think about it, it happened 7 years ago! Not yesterday, it is not only affecting the leader that caused it, but also the children. People are not caring about the children that are there being killed 1 by 1 by the bombs. 560 thousand people have been killed and 400 children were arrested by syrian prisoners. According to BBC the syrian war started because syrians were complaining of unemployment because of their president Bashar al-Assad.
Furthermore, according to mercycorps there are refugees in lebanon, turkey, iraq, and jordan. Parents with their children and even children alone are running away from what they called home, trying to find a better life without anything they had that had been lost in the bombs. 11 million people are going as far away as syria as possible, 5.6 million have found shelter on neighboring countries as previously mentioned.
In conclusion, in syria there are kids suffering, the countries past and causes of the war, and finally were the kids are fleeing to. Children are suffering in the streets finding a home, a family that would take them in. I believe everyone should donate to help the kids and adults that have been hurt by the bombs.
