NASW National Statement on the Syrian Refugee Crisis
BACKGROUND:
The Syrian migrant crisis was triggered by the ongoing civil war in Syria against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad. Since the war began in March 2011 more than nine million Syrians have fled their homes.
According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), more than three million Syrians have fled to neighboring Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq
while another 6.5 million refugees are living within Syria. Approximately 150,000 Syrians have received asylum in the European Union.
The Obama administration in September responded to the crisis by raising the number of Syrian refugees admitted to at least 10,000. Fewer than 2,000 Syrian refugees were accepted in this country in 2014.
