Refugee facts

At school during inquiry, we have been looking at the topic 'refugees'. Here I have some fact on how refugees live etc.

• 13.5 million people in Syria need humanitarian assistance due to a violent civil war. ...
• 4.8 million Syrians are refugees, and 6.5 million are displaced within Syria; half of those affected are children.
• Most Syrian refugees remain in the Middle East, in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and Egypt; slightly more than 10% of the refugees have fled to europe.
• Children are susceptible to malnutrition and diseases brought on by poor sanitation, including diarrheal diseases like cholera. Cold weather increases the risk of pneumonia and other respiratory infections.
• Many refugee children have to work to support their families. Often they labor in dangerous or demeaning circumstances for little pay.
