A world full of RefugeesThe world is currently facing one of its worst refugee crisis ever. Worldwide, 19,5 Million refugees have been forced to seek for a living abroad. Since the beginning of 2015 more than a million refugees have reached the European shores. According to the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner of Refugees) 84% of the all the Refugees in Europe come from Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia and Iraq.
According to statistics given by the World Data Bank, in 2014 the population of refugees was approximately 82,500. This is a huge number of Refugees as the size of the country is fairly small. Imagine one fine day you wake up and you realise that you have to leave your identity, friends, house and your entire life behind. You have to go to a country where people are not willing to welcome you and your family and find a basis of survival. I think that we should do something to help these refugees in getting a better live and improving their conditions. The website will give you an overview of the situation of refugees in The Netherlands and might inpspire you to take action for these refugees. |
