2IntroductionSyria with the capital city of Damascus is one of the countries located in the Middle East region, Syria directly adjacent to Turkey, Iraq and Jordan. Syria is one of the countries that experienced humanitarian disaster due to Civil war that occurred until this moment. The UN saysthat Syria has become a terrible battleground. The Syrian war continues and heats up.As reported by the CNN website, at least more than 20,000 Syrian refugees have crossed and fled from Syria to Turkey via the Tal Abyad border in hopes of protecting security from the endless Civil War between Kurdish fighters and the ISIS extremist militant group. The refugees are leaving their war-torn country through the Turkish border post, Akcakale, overlooking Tal Talat City in Syria now controlled by YPG(Gibney and Loescher, 2010).The Syrians decided to get out of the Syrian country and flee to neighboring countries and even Europe because the Syrian state where they live has become a terrible war arena, they see family members killed by sadistic weapons fired or their homes that have been flattened to the ground by the bomb.The onset of this humanitarian crisis in Syria was an anti-government rally in March 2011. The peaceful protests that took place were part of the Arab Spring wave that grew bigger and broke out after the government troops responded to the violent protests. The rebels were consumed emotionally and rose up against the regime. A number of soldiers defected and civilians took up arms. Until now it has taken many victims due to the civil war of the conflict The split between
3secular and Islamist fighters, and between ethnic groups.It has been four years since the conflict in Syria, but now it is estimated that more than 220,000 people were killed and most of those killed were civilians. This increasingly heated war caused much of the infrastructure of cities in Syria to be destroyed and many human rights violations to the point of horror. Ironically, basic needs such as food and medical care for victims of the conflict are far from adequate(International refugee crisis, 2014).Literature ReviewSince the outbreak of the civil war in Syria, in 2011, Europe has witnessed a large increase in thenumber of refugees, which European countries do not manage to control at the moment. Europe has already exhausted its ability to receive and place forced migrants, but the number of them is increasing day by day. According to Eurostat, during the period from April to June 2015, 213.2 thousand people expressed asylum, which is 85% more than in the period April-June 2014. In September 2014, over 173,000 settlers reached Europe via the Mediterranean Sea, and in October of the same year the number of visitors was more than 218,000, but the exact figures areunknown, as some may have passed through the border unnoticed (Darke, 2011). 53% of all refugees are Syrians, the second large group of forced migrants is Afghans, there are about 18% of them, followed by refugees from countries such as Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Eritrea, and others .Thus, the situation in some countries of the Near and Middle East forces citizens of these countries to leave their homeland in search of security for themselves and their families, especially against the background of the unprecedentedly intimidating activities of the terrorist group Islamic State.According to (Atlani-Duault, 2008) a significant problem is that many of these refugees are not forced migrants but are economic migrants seeking stability in Europe.
4The Dublin agreements, according to which asylum-seekers, must remain in the territory of the EU country where they were located first, are not being observed in the current migration crisis, and it is this country that is fully responsible for granting asylum. If a migrant has left the EU country to which he originally entered, another country has the full right to deport him. Due to the fact that the flow of refugees was too great, the Dublin agreements were suspended, as migrants needed to be distributed somehow (European solidarity with the victims of humanitarian crises, 2002).In September 2015, the EU countries established a special quota program for the distribution of 120,000 refugees to facilitate the reception of refugees in countries such as Italy, Hungary and Greece. The issue of the distribution of refugees was complicated by a number of contradictions between the European countries themselves, which were divided into two camps: those who are ready to receive refugees and those who opposed the deployment of migrants in their territory. MethodologyThis research seeks to use a questionnaire to collect information on the humanitarian crisis facingSyria and the problems facing Syrian refugees from a refugee’s perspective. The questionnaire will be of use in collecting qualitative data for this research. Secondary data from newspaper andother major news network that have extensively reported on the Syrian refugee situation shall be used in this research.
