The situation of Syrian refugees is increasingly untenable

After five years of war, the situation in Syria is getting worse. A worry is the internal situation, that one of the escape constant that has generated more than four million refugees. Of all the people who fled the horrors of war, the major part is in Turkey, which in its refugee camps welcomed a million and eight hundred thousand people, while the remainder is divided between Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt and other countries in Africa Northern. All this without counting those who try to reach Europe, undergoing extreme trips, which feed the market of speculators on migrants and who often find death at sea after untold hardships. The course of the conflict may raise the number of those fleeing from the Syrian town of more than 200,000 people by the end of 2015, especially if there will be an advance of the Islamic state. This state of affairs leads to a situation of collapse of the refugee camps and in the same countries that host them: the limiting case is Lebanon where one person in four is a migrant. The conditions of the fields amount to situations that lead to the level of poverty the condition of the Syrians in the camps from Jordan this value is around 86% of the people who pay in absolute poverty. The refugees have often fled with few belongings from their homes and are forced to deal with completely new situations and negative without the necessary support, both material and moral. The situation of promiscuity fields favors phenomena criminals, sanitation and hygiene very poor and even episodes of conflict between Syrian belonging to different factions. The major problems of the management of the camps, however, are created by the serious financial shortage, which does not allow to ensure the totality of the refugees also types of aid essential to life itself. Often they require painful choices on helping. International aid covered only a small part of the needs, estimated in 24% of the overall need, what determines, in addition to the serious situation and fields, even instability of the regions that host them. Special attention should be paid to the situation of children, who often do not come to have secured the minimum conditions of survival, in addition to not have access to educational programs and even psychological conditions, particularly severe, contributing to the worsening of the general condition. It is estimated that the reductions of food, caused by the lack of aid and the intolerable burden for national governments to manage the situation, have affected at least one and a half million refugees and this gave a sufficient explanation of why they were overshadowed aspects such as education and psychological assistance. However also the situation in the country appears dramatic. Estimates speak of over seven and a half million people who have not been able yet to escape and bearing, in addition to the sanitary conditions similar to those of refugees, the pressure to live with the constant war: bombing or the explosive barrels 'Assad's use of chemical weapons or gratuitous violence of the militia of the caliphate. This scenario is particularly serious and sad is not yet sufficient to reach an agreement of international powers and international organizations to find some solution to the conflict, which hit the bulk of the victims civilians. Once again the responsibility of those who became unprepared are obvious, as are those who speculate about the war to strengthen its geopolitical positions. When, if ever, will the war in Syria the scope of the tragedy will remain as a warning to uselessness of international bodies and the cowardice of those who do not want to risk an intervention in time that would have greatly limited the tragedies so far still far from completed.
