Refugee crisis at its worst

By Zuleikha Ahmed
22:06:21

In the past decade, the refugee crisis has claimed headlines daily, as millions of people flee their homes looking for security and a haven to establish a future.

Situations like the Syrian civil conflict and the persecution of the Rohingya, and their exodus to Bangladesh, are just two examples.

Looking at the countries and people who have suffered the worst refugee crisis, we see an unfortunate pattern. The majority are Muslim. Since the beginning of the Syrian war, the number of refugees is five and a half million, and the number of displaced people are six million.

According to the UN refugee agency, more than 12 million people have been displaced, and approximately 13.1 million people require humanitarian aid.

Looking at other countries facing a similar crisis, Venezuela is seen to be one of the world’s most significant displacement and crisis areas. While Syria’s crisis was triggered by conflict and war, Venezuela’s situation is different.

To date, about 4.6 million of its people have left the country as a result of an unprecedented humanitarian crisis commented years of economic hardship and disability.

Afghanistan has approximately 2.7 million, and the number of displaced is at 5 million.

Children, particularly, are impacted negatively, which leads to reduced long-term livelihood prospects, and exposure to violence sets deep-rooted PTSD among children whose school learning is affected. Children living in temporary refugee camps, deprived of schooling and balanced nutrition, have lower age-appropriate height.

As we pull the statistics and numbers aside, we see our fellow human beings suffering with no end in sight.

They are humans, not numbers. And they all deserve better.
