The report describes the lives of eight unfortunate families in order
to emphasize the humanitarian dimension of the crisis. The report is
regarded as a positive move in terms of drawing public attention to
the humanitarian dimension of the Syrian crisis.

Amnesty International, said, "This report tells the stories of the real
people behind the numbers, in their own words."
T Turkey's historic and pioneering role in
supporting refugees
Comparing domestic populations, it becomes evident that Turkey
is home to the largest Syrian refugee population. The number of
refugees in the country is estimated at more than 1.6 million.
Turkey is now the country
that hosts the most refugees
in the world and totally
depends on its own national
budget on this issue. The
refugee camps are in a "per-
fect" condition as stated by
New York Times. History will
never forget the lesson given
by Turkey on conscience.
