THE SYRIAN REFUGEE CRISIS 2Executive SummaryThe Syrian refugee crisis is considered as one of the largest humanitarian issues that is facing theworld. This is an aspect that UNHCR recognizes. The refugee crisis in Syria is very serious, and there are more than 6 million Syrians who are displaced. Countries such as Turkey and Lebanon are hosting quite a number of refugees, and they are living in very poor conditions, and their rates of poverty are high. The recommended policy to solve the Syrian refugee crisis is for UNHCR to come up with a fund that aims at catering for the needs of the Syrian refugees. The fund under consideration should be used to meet the basic needs of the refugees, relocate some of the refugees to countries that are safe, and to create an awareness of the problems facing these refugees.

THE SYRIAN REFUGEE CRISIS 3Introduction This is a policy brief under the topic humanitarian responses to forced migration. The policy to be created is on how to solve the problems that the Syrian refugees are facing. There is a high rate of poverty amongst the Syrian refugees, and this is against the 1992 UN Resolution, and the Millennium Development Goals that aim at eradicating poverty in the world (Fargues 2014). Despite the existence of these resolutions and goals, the Syrian refugees are unable to have an access to the financial resources and other social resources that can enable them to live a prosperous life. In fact, few of them are living in camps supported by the governments of Turkey and Jordan. However, those in Lebanon are unable to have an access to refugee camps; thus, their lives becoming harder than the refugees living in Turkey and Jordan (Berti 2015). It is based on this fact that I propose the development of the Syrian Revolving Fund, to be managed by the UNHCR. All member states of UN should contribute to this fund, and the money should be used to educate the Syrian refugees, resettle them, and provide for their basic needs. BackgroundThe Syrian civil war began on 15th of March 2011 and it has millions of the Syrian, forcing them to cross borders. Turkey is hosting about 2.9 million Syrian refugees. Most of these refugees are living in urban centers, and their lives are a daily struggle (Hoffman and Samuk, 2016). This is basically because they do not have the financial resources that can enable them live a decent life that is full of prosperity. Moreover, the Syrian refugees have an option in staying at the refugee camps that are managed by the government. In fact, there are about 21 refugee camps in Turkey, and they host approximately 260,000 people. In Lebanon, life is not better. Approximately 70% of the Syrian refugees living in Lebanon are living below the poverty line. Life is made more difficult because Lebanon does not have a formal refugee camp, and this forces the immigrants to live in about 2,100 rural communities andurban centers that exist in Lebanon (Murphy, 2016). Because of their higher rates of poverty, the Syrian refugees are forced to live in poor housing conditions, and they are unable to have an access to some basic amenities and resources such as quality education and healthcare services.
