Would you open your doors?

Over 66 million people around the world were displaced from their home because of war, conflict or persecution. The conflict in Syria has now driven more than twelve million people to seek sanctuary in neighboring countries, making it the largest displaced crisis for a quarter of a century. Facing an uncertain future displaced persons/refugees are struggling to survive. With the violence continuing in their homeland, they wait in camps hoping that a country will offer them asylum. Four million children have been affected, all having left school and their future educations behind. Over 12,000 children have died among the 240,000 people killed in the Syria conflict, with a million people wounded and disabled. More than 75,000 Syrian refugee families live without their father, while thousands of children have separated from both parents. This separation can cause a breakdown in the family structure and impact children not only in economic ways but also emotionally. Many children have endured injuries and physical trauma, illness due to interrupted preventative health care, physiological trauma, and impediments to their spiritual development.

Now, the humanitarian effort is failing, falling donations and spiraling needs. The united nation has received less than half of the amount and resources needed to care for the displaced/refugees.  To help the greatest number of refugees, you first need to understand where the refugees are located, and you are to support the organization addressing refugees/displaced person’s needs. Meeting displaced person needs is vital, but aids worker also urges individuals, donors, to think about supporting the government in trying to solve problems that will help children and families over a longer term. An individual can take the responsibility of helping displaced person or refugees by delivering food and clean water, improving shelters and providing families with clothing, mattresses and other household essentials. We can also help children cope with extreme stress and constructive activities to nurture their healthy development. There are also different ways individuals can make a difference in the lives of a displaced persons which include:

Donation: one of the best ways to help is through donating to an accredited nonprofit organization that is responding to the crisis. Every single donation provides more food, water, shelter, and support to the displaced children and families in crisis around the world.

Fundraise: you can also provide direct assistance by setting up a page to raise money to support the displaced people or refugees, which can provide immediate assistance including access medical care, legal services and access to sanitation. Asking your friends and family to contribute to the effort of saving the lives of displaced children and families.

Learn more: the more you learn about this crisis, the more you will understand its underlying causes and can spread the word. The warfare in Syria, violence in Iraq and Afghanistan and the drought in Somalia, has contributed to the surge of refugees from those countries. Share the story and spread the word about the millions of people who need us.

Advocate: tell Congress that we must continue to support the refugees by expanding humanitarian assistance to the displaced/refugees in the country, as well as those burdened by the new migration.

 

Displaced persons in all countries continue to require international assistance and attention. They should have access to good food, decent education, employment opportunities, and dignified living conditions.
