The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees called the Syrian conflict largest humanitarian crisis era

GENEVA, August 29. The number of Syrians who have fled their country because of the civil war that does not end in 2011, exceeded 3 million.

These figures spread the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), calling the Syrian crisis the largest humanitarian crisis era, the end of which is not visible.

According to UN agencies, in addition to people who fled their homeland, where more than three years does not stop the armed conflict by government forces and armed rebels, has 6.5 million Syrians were forced to flee their homes, but remained in the country.

This means that almost half of the 22 million population of the Middle East countries have been displaced. More than 50% of them are children.

Pressure on host economies, their infrastructure and resources

“The Syrian crisis has turned into a major humanitarian emergencies in the era of the time, the international community is not able to help the refugees and their host countries,” – said the UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres.

The main burden of the war in Syria, where the number of victims, according to the UN, has exceeded 191 thousand. Man fell on the neighboring countries. For example, in Lebanon by four million Syrians reached 1.14 million people in Jordan – 608 thousand., Turkey – 815 thousand., And the remaining refugees were distributed between Iraq and Egypt.

In UNHCR, pay attention to the fact that the statistics were only refugees who have registered. For a complete picture of them need to add a few more hundreds of thousands of Syrians who had fled to neighboring countries, but does not execute the necessary documents.

The Syrians who have become over the years of conflict the largest refugee community in the world, putting tremendous pressure on host economies, their infrastructure and resources. And, as recognized in the administration, with headquarters in Geneva, there is no indication that the situation may change – people continue to flee the country, where the warring parties surround the city, conducted indiscriminate shelling, desperately short of food, and the health care system almost ceased to operate.
