America, the land of the free and the home of the brave, a place where people can get out of bed every morning and not worry about anyone harming them. However, not many people on this Earth have this glorious gift, in fact they live in a world much different, one in which no one wants to save them from. Ever since March 15th of 2011, the Middle Eastern country of Syria has been devastated by a bloody civil war among it’s people. Hundreds of thousands of Syrians have lost their lives in this war, merely getting caught in the crossfire for most cases. Most Syrian refugees who are in this crisis are trying to flee from Syria to other countries to escape the warfare. Others believe that it is too much hassle to open their borders to them and …show more content…
When looking at one of the task forces in the Middle East, a medical team is ran by “only [a] woman on the floor, a black-clad figure working alongside three exhausted young men in green gowns to treat most of Aleppo’s victims of war” and no one else to help them for that area (Chulov). This is just one of the few response teams in Syria, which is not big at all and is not big enough even to handle serious cases rather than minor ones. With small medical teams providing aid, they may either not have the right supplies and equipment or not able handle a mass of people at once that are in severe trauma. Syrians are not able to even seek closure when wounded being “the hospital(s) [are not even] safe [being] most large buildings around [them] have been obliterated by the same half-tonne bombs, leading those who work, live and die within [their] iodine-stained walls to believe that they are the real targets”(Chulov). The irreparable damage sustained to their environment creates great obstacles in the path of internal responders, ones that will limit their availability, thus causing them not to be able to send help to those places. With the buildings that house medical teams or supplies being exposed or the main targets, people cannot receive the proper help when they need it. Others believe that no further aid is needed in Syria because there are already …show more content…
Some of the refugees look onto sky at night and “the clouds that had kept the helicopters away from Aleppo clear, and the risk of barrel bomb attacks increase” as they go on day to day in Syria knowing at times “[a] bomb is coming anyway, and it will destroy this house”(Chulov)(Maslin). As mentioned previously, most buildings in Syria get destroyed and a bomb landing on person’s house is something that unfortunately happens more than one may think. People living in Syria run the risk of losing their only shelter that is keeping them safe just by remaining in that area. When refugees take the action to make an attempt to reach other countries to get away from Syria, most know that “all of this pushes people to go to the sea [and] it’s like going to die, going to death” being their are great dangers while trying to flee to another country, which most of the time is by boat only (Maslin). They face the threat of enemies on the water that may ransack their boats and kill those on them,or the elements will harm them as well. With little supplies to help them on their journey and the fact that some boats are not able to take such a treacherous journey through possible tempests along with trying to stay afloat with all of the damage their ships may receive. Others argue that Syrians do have options of other countries they can flee to, such are some European and Arab
