fighting?

One of the main

reasons that the
Syrians are fighting
is for the children
putting AntiGovernment graffiti
on the wall showing
that the children and
their families are
against president
Bashar al-Assad for
what he is doing to
SYRIA.

PROBLEM

WHAT THEY NEED? WHAT

MIGHT HELP?

The people who have

experience of a doctor, could
help treat these infections

Fight infections they got from war

10 pregnant women who need

special care

10 elderly people who have weak

health

The pregnant women can be

taken care of in the shelters

The need special care too, so

theyll be in the shelters

Upgrade tents, use stronger

material

The camp currently has tents that

house 20 people each. Multiple
families are living in the same tent,
and dust flies into the tents when
the wind blows. Lack of adequate
housing has led to additional
injuries and has worsened health
conditions

A group of looters have started

stealing food and water at night.
When the food trucks come to
drop off food, its usually the
fastest and strongest men who
get the supplies first
A Turf War has surfaced
between different religious sects
in the camp, causing fighting
and one shooting
There are only three toilets for
the entire group, and they
frequently get stopped up. This
has increased the spread of
disease and has made the
environment disgusting and
almost unbearable. This has
increased violence and misery in
the community

There should be people

supervising

We could put a wall around the

camp

They can get rid of the toilets

and dig a hole like back in the
days

30 people in the community are

children. Because they having
nothing else to do, they have
been getting into trouble and
acting up. Their schooling has
been completely stopped because
of this crisis, and they are already
falling way behind. Considering
the correlation between education
level and poverty, Syrias
economy will have a bad future if
they dont catch up
The citizens of turkey, the host
country, want to help Syrians, but
the refugees are disruptive to
some of the Turkish citizens and
are using up a lot of their
resources

So the students wont fall

behind, or get in trouble,
we will have the parents
teach them of what the
already know

We will tell the citizens of

turkey that we dont need
their help
