The Syria crisis (Forced Migration Review 47)

The Syria crisis (Forced Migration Review 47)

The 6.45 million displaced people inside Syria make this the largest IDP crisis in the world, with possibly also the largest number of people who are ‘trapped’. In addition, the number of refugees from Syria continues to increase. The international community has an opportunity to set up, from now, an effective response to what will clearly become protracted displacement. These 20 articles discuss how to increase protection for the displaced and how to shape assistance to both the displaced and their ‘hosts’. See more at: http://www.fmreview.org/syria

    FMR 47 The vulnerability of Palestinian refugees from Syria

    While Syrian nationals may eventually return to their home country, the future for Palestinians from Syria is increasingly uncertain. Meanwhile they are more vulnerable, and treated worse, than most other refugees from the Syrian conflict.

    FMR 47 The impact of displacement on disabled, injured and older Syrian refugees

    In contexts of displacement it is critical to recognise that some groups in the population may require specific attention. Awareness of these needs has major consequences for the types of services required, and the way they are delivered.

    FMR 47 Gender, conscription and protection, and the war in Syria

    The struggles endured by men who remain inside Syria and the obstacles faced by others who choose to remove themselves from the fighting by fleeing the country demonstrate a need to redefine classic conceptions of vulnerability.

    FMR 47 If Israel accepted Syrian refugees and IDPs in the Golan Heights
