Re: Syrian refugee crisis.
This sounds like backed into a corner to me...
This executive summary will show that significant changes have been noted since VASyR 2014, which highlights the dynamic nature of refugee HHs’ characteristics and living conditions in Lebanon. For instance the refugees face severe restrictions on accessing the Lebanese labour market, their assets and savings are increasingly exhausted, their debts are mounting and they must fulfil specific and costly requirements to renew their legal stay in Lebanon. Lebanon and the refugees it is hosting are in a very delicate state the situation requires special and immediate measures. Each day represents a monumental struggle to meet the most basic needs and families are increasingly faced with using negative coping mechanisms to do so. Their need for assistance is growing in parallel with the reductionof available funds.They are living in a stressful context with no way out.

Would you be able to survive in such conditions for four years, with no end in sight? I know I wouldn't. What would you do if you were in such a camp, would you stay?

Policies, measures and programmes oriented towards
allowing refugees to generate income while protecting
the Lebanese labour market and mitigating potential
tensions with the host community are recommended.
Reducing the number of HHs targeted for assistance
is likely to lead to a further deterioration of the food
security situation: dependency on external assistance
must be tackled at the same time.The extended and
continued inadequacy of infant and young child feeding
practices requires a causal analysis to better understand
the factors leading to it. Programmes must be directed
at tackling the identified causes and ensuring effective
beahvioural change. Although sensitization on adequate
feeding practices is recommended, other potential
causes should be considered to ensure effective
behavioural change.
Overall, an upscale of programmatic interventions to
cover the growing needs of the refugees is recommended.
Given the significant differences between districts in
the same region any geographical targeting should be
applied at a lower geographical level. Systems to identify
and recognize these pockets will ensure an appropriate
and fair level of assistance to vulnerable HHs regardless
of their location.
Supporting the refuges in the host countries appears to be the recommendation.

Re: Syrian refugee crisis.
Just because someone criticises Merkel's "open door" policy doesn't mean they don't have empathy or sympathy. Chaos always has consequences. Right from the beginning I've been worried about the loss of tolerance, compassion and rising violence that doesn't mean I have no Sympathy, it just means I would try and help differently. Just yesterday there was a terrible incident in Sweden. Did you know you can seriously help at least 10 families directly in the middle east for the same cost of helping one family in the west? What about all the people and children that continue to die on their way to Germany?

Re: Syrian refugee crisis.
Yes it is an option for Brits. But some countries have exit restrictions. Syria included.

Re: Syrian refugee crisis.
The parts of the solution do not include encouraging people to pay criminals to cross the open sea in little boats.
So what is the solution? Obviously, all countries with influence must step up efforts to end to the Syrian war. But until there is peace, the countries hosting four million refugees must receive the infrastructure and development support they need while fully funding UNHCR and partner organisations to provide for the basic needs for refugees. We continue to advocate for employment schemes to allow refugees to earn and contribute to local labour markets.
At the same time, refugees must be offered more legal avenues to reach safety in the world’s richer countries through increased resettlement quotas, more flexible family reunification schemes and humanitarian and student visas. Syrian refugees would certainly then think twice before leaving their region and risking their lives on a journey to Europe.

Re: Syrian refugee crisis.
And how many Brits don't get the option to immigrate... A fair few lack the education and resources to make the move to another.. now try changing the UK to Syria and imagine the differences..
