With President Bashar al-Assad back in power, Syria will continue to crumble, more innocent civilians will be killed at his hand and dangerous factions across the area will rise again. With more and more fighting in war-torn Syria it will raise casualties of war. Homelessness and poverty stricken citizens already face many challenges just to stay alive. They must find shelter and food just to survive this messy civil war. They will have it even worse than before (Mundy, 2017).
