The UN has been struggling to help countries Jordan and Syria to cope with the gigantic amount of Iraqi refugees pouring in from the country. There are about 1.2 million Iraqis in Syria and 800,000 in Jordan. “There has been an abject denial of the impact, the humanitarian impact, of the war, the huge displacement within Iraq of up to 1.9 million people who are homeless because of the war, and those people who are homeless and never got back to the homes after Saddam Hussein was overthrown,” said UNHCR spokesman Peter Kessler. Many of the refugees require basic needs, like food and water and healthcare, as well as education and counselling. In all of this, the goverment has to intervene before it gets out of hand. Also in Iraqi, people have tried running away from, or have been displaced, at a number higher than 2 million. This obviously affects the world, and especially these people, in a big way. It affects the countries where refugees are headed and how they will respond to this crisis, and it affects the world as to how to wish to help them. It’s our fault they’re like this, so now we have to help them. The link to the article is here.
