wretched people are only able to survive with aid from the U.N. and
humanitarian organizations.

Under the increasingly harsh conditions of winter, the refugees are
facing major difficulties in terms of housing, as well as hunger. Many
refugees, the majority of them children and babies, are losing their lives
under the harsh winter conditions for lack of food, fuel and clothing.

Today, some 95% of Syrian refugees, meaning 3.8 million people,
are trying to survive in five neighboring or regional countries – Turkey,
Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt. The U.N. High Commission for
Refugees (UNHCR) has announced that 380,000 people in these coun-
tries need to be resettled.

T The disgraceful behavior of the EU, the advocate
of human rights, over taking in Syrian refugees

The number of Syrians admitted by countries other than the five
listed above is very low, less than 2% of the total refugees. The number
of Syrian refugees admitted by countries of the EU is a terrible one –
a mere 5,000.

In the face of this humanitarian disgrace, some 30 leading human-
itarian aid organizations issued a joint statement last December,
demanding that rich Western countries admit at least 5% of the Syrian
refugees, or some 160,000 people, by the end of 2015. Germany, which
leads the way in terms of resettlement, has promised to accept 28,500
refugees through the humanitarian application of individual support

programs.
Of the $3.74 million requested in the scope of a U.N.'s call to

regional aid for refugees, only 53% had arrived by November 18th , 2014.
