Syrian Child Refugee Crisis
An increasing flow of internal and external child refugees
Project Summary
Syria has had a longstanding dictatorship. In 2011, the Arab Spring began, in which citizens protested against the Assad government for democracy. The protests degenerated into violence between the rebel groups and the Syrian military in which there was much destruction. Large numbers of people fled their homes in order to avoid the violence, and now there are increasing numbers of external Syrian refugees within Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, and Iraq, as well as internal refugees within Syria. What is alarming about what the data shows is that half the number of affected people are children under the age of 18.
This infographic shows the increasing internal and external refugees and the shocking percentage that are children under the age of 18 resulting from the Syrian conflict; in addition to this the purpose is to show necessary and received funds so as to make people aware of the issue and also bring about more help.
