Development And Protection Challenges Of The Syrian Refugee Crisis

Great Essays
countries. This blind hatred backs the bulk of the reasoning behind those who are against Syrian involvement and refugee aid along with what this opposition views as notable counter-claims. The main claim in opposition of accepting refugees is the evidence that host countries are suffering from the bombardment of the refugees and as a result, their livelihood has taken a toll. In the article “Development and Protection Challenges of the Syrian Refugee Crisis,” Zetter, Roger, and Ruaudel focus primarily on the negative effects the Syrian refugee crisis has had on the neighboring countries to Syria. Jordan and Lebanon already are filled with Iraqi and Palestinian refugees, and with thousands of Syrian refugees flooding the countries, they are …show more content…
However, there are several steps that can be taken to improve the situation by leaps and bounds. The current processing and distribution systems for refugees is heavily flawed. The process is complex and unnecessarily difficult leaving refugees and hosts unsatisfied with end results. The process essentially treats the Syrians as if they were cattle or just some other number in a statistic. With a massive overhaul in these systems, everyone can be satisfied with the outcomes. Refugees will be treated with respect and placed in a country of their choosing in a timelier and simpler manner. Meanwhile the host countries will be alleviated of some on the bombardment, be able to match with refugees who will best suit their country, and fill any deficits they may have. Along with reform on processing systems, there is a much needed overhaul on health …show more content…
Countries are unable to keep up with supplies due to the massive influx on refugees. The new processing system should relieve some of this burden with a fairer and equal distribution of refugees across the countries. The system reformation could even encourage more countries to participate, which would disburse the Syrians even more making the doctor to patient ratio more reasonable. Organizations have already proved that physical and mental health care is plausible and can be accomplished. These organizations have defied the naysayers in the belief that treatments would be expensive and undoable. Even these organizations can be improved upon which would increase efficiency and lower costs even further which means more refugees can receive the care they so direly need and deserve. It is imperative for countries to look within and reform their own infrastructures before meddling with peace keeping

    In 2011, an insurrection initiated a civil war against Syrian president, al-Assad. This war is getting worse by the minute; many countries are involved. ISIS rose to power, Russia is supporting al-Assad, The United States is supporting the rebels, as are many countries, which has arose the question: “Should refugees be allowed into countries?” Refugees should be deterred; they provoke social apprehension, they weaken the economy, and they surface concern regarding terrorism and crime.

    The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimates that nearly 4.8 million Syrian civilians have fled their homes to neighboring countries and abroad, while approximately 8.7 are predicted to be displaced within Syrian borders (UNHCR, 2016). While this may arguably be the biggest refugee crisis of our time (United Nations, 2016), the world’s wealthiest countries are slow to accept refugees into their borders. While some countries are unwilling to accept any refugees at all, some such as the United States are welcoming them in smaller…

    I chose an article called "The American Way of Refuge", written by Kori N. Schake and it was published in January of 2016 by the Hoover Institution. Mrs. Schake establishes that America should accept more Syrian refugees for various reasons by using strong examples to appeal to her audience. Schake has written this particular article to appeal to all American voters in an effort to gain more support and agreement with her claim. Also, in the article, she suggests that Americans are acting as bystanders in the horrific Syrian crisis, instead of utilizing one of this country's best advantages, which is the ability to accept and assist refugees. Schake’s credibility is proven strong in this example.…

    This is dangerous and could cause many problems with transportation for others living among the countries. If the process of transporting the refugees improved then the ability to house them would be easier. However, with this a lot more refugees would be flowing into countries, so the only way this could happen was if more countries accepted refugees. The last way that people could help this refugee crisis would be by spreading knowledge about the crisis throughout the world.…

    If the United States was able to place 800,00 refugees after the Vietnam War why can’t the US do it again? The substantial amount of Syrians escaping their country, and in need of an asylum has placed a lot of pressure on many countries.

    Young men are being kidnapped by militia regimes and forced to join combat. Communities are being raided and bombed, and extremists are persecuting any person who does not conform to extremist Islamic methodology. Refugees are caught between the certain death of giving a smuggler all their money to make the dangerous journey to refuge across the Mediterranean sea, and the certain death of remaining in Syria. Refugees are fleeing to neighbouring nations such as Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq, but those nations have begun to close their borders as their economies and social structure are unable to cope with such a large influx of refugees in such a short period of time; “Jordan is running out of water. Already one of the world’s driest countries, the Kingdom faces a crisis badly exacerbated by the increasing needs of those displaced by Syria's Civil War.”…

    Reform on this will make the process more efficient; higher efficiency creates a higher amount of refugees treated. In “The Health of the Newest Americans…” by McNeely and Morland, they mention two communities in the U.S. which have implemented an improved system in health care. This new system has proven to be highly successful in treatments, transitioning refugees into their new life, creating acceptance between refugees and those in the communities, and has even proven to be cost efficient (McNeely and Morland 13-15). These organizations and programs prove to be a win-win situation for all parties involved. Refugees receive the support they need and the U.S. remains unaffected in any negative outcome, keeping the Democrats and the Republicans both happy.…

    The Syrian Crisis

    More than four million people have fled from Syria due to the atrocities produced by modern warfare, causing one of the biggest refugee movements in history (Letsch, “Turkey Putting Syrian Refugees 'at Serious Risk of Human Rights Abuse”). Countries around the world provide air support and weapons to the opposing sides, causing more violence and results in Syrians fleeing from their homes, yet these countries make it hard for refugees to seek asylum in their country (Griswold). Since this war is being fought similarly to a proxy war, the countries that are providing weapons should be responsible for helping and providing shelter for refugees. The weapons that supporting countries are supplying for this war are not only being used on the opposing armies, but on schools and hospitals; centers of civilian life (Fahiim). The attacks on civilians have become so large that they have been compared to those of genocide (Sly, "Trapped between Airstrikes and Locked Gate, Syrian Refugees Are Pawns in a Wider War”).…

    As they flee from war and violence, Syrian refugees are trying to find better lives in other countries, whether it is temporary or permanent. Only recently has the refugee crisis been brought to people’s attention around the world, but it has been in existence since the Arab Spring in 2011. The Arab Spring brought about rebellion against Syria’s President al-Assad’s regime and Al-Assad fought back, creating a devastating civil war. Now, 4.6 million Syrians are seeking safe havens. Syria’s neighboring countries and some European have been the more accessible asylums.…
