Assignment 21- Ella Jensen

Right now 6,235 miles away millions of people are suffering with no end in sight. And when they try to escape these forsaken situations, no helping hands are offered. The Syrian humanitarian crisis, entering its 5^th year of violence, left 12.2 million people in need of assistance, and over 220,000 people have been killed plus 1 million injured. The displacement of Syrian refugees has forced almost 4 million people from their homes into foreign environments of discrimination and more hardship. In Syria’s state, many of the shelters and hospitals have been destroyed or severely damaged leaving those who remained no assistance or escape. The water supply has dipped below 50% of its pre-crisis levels, dwindling resources to a close. The state at hand is not one to be ignored because for every second of our “right now” the people just a continent away that second becomes another second of lost hope.
