The Syrian Refugee Crisis

Since it seems like this is a big deal lately, I wanted to take a minute to talk about Syrian Refugees. Many feel that all the Syrian refugees are leaving the country, when in fact it has been shown that only 10 percent of the refugees have gone to Europe. Most remain in the middle east and a large amount remain as displaced persons in their own country.
But exactly why are all these people running? Since the Syrian war began 320,000 people have been killed 12,000 of those people being children and about 1.5 million people have been wounded or permanently disabled. The violence that is seen in this country is driving families away to find safety. I know that if I were a Syrian I would take my family and try to escape to refuge.
This is the truth of what is happening in Syria. The conflict has involved small groups but has affected millions. Now it is up to the world to decide how they will treat the situation and how we will either rise to the occasion, or fail humanity.
