Forced migration in Syria
Push Factors
March 2011, protests began in Syria, after the arrest and torture of teenagers who painted revolutionary slogans on school walls.
The government's use of force to curb protests made things worse, and how these protests quickly spiralled as people demanded president Assad's resignation.
2012, Syria descended into a civil war, and the Jihadist group, Islamic State (IS), added further dimensions in the civil conflict.
The UN accused IS of waging a campaign of terror, which resulted in many punishments on those who refused to accept the campaign's rules, hundreds of executions, and amputations.
Push Factors
August 2013, a chemical weapons attack was launched on the city of Damascus, and hundreds were killed, however the government denied the attack and blamed the rebel forces.
Schools, hospitals, water networks, electricity plants, places of worship, and economic assets were attacked which made the civilians vulnerable.
Approximately, more than 250,000 people were killed, most of them were teenagers and children.
Displacing people in Syria
In 2016, according to the UN report, 6.5 million people were internally displaced inside Syria, with 1.2 million people have been driven from their homes in 2015.
The UN reported that it would need $3.2 Bn to help the 13.5 million people, including 6 million children, who require some form of humanitarian assistance inside Syria in 2016.
70% of the population without access to adequate drinking water, 1 of 3 people were unable to have their baic food needs, more than 2 million children were out of school, and 4 of 5 had to live in poverty.
Displacing people in Syria / Refugees
Up to 4.5 million people in Syria live in hard-to-reach areas, including 400,00 people in besieged locations, who do not have access to living-saving aid.
Since 2011, more than 5 million people fled Syria, and most of them migrated and lived in Lebanon, Jordan, and Turkey.
