Two years of conflict in the country of Syria has lead to its people being displaced from their homes. Trying not to get caught up in the violence, many have been fleeing their homes in an attempt to find a place to survive. Some have taken to staying with family and friends, but the violence is so widespread that it ends up only being a temporary stay. Because of this, many of Syria’s people have been forced to seek out and find refugee camps wherever possible, despite the living conditions.
There really is no other choice when you’re trying to escape massacres, rape, executions, or worse. It’s about survival, and that’s why “more than 1.5 million Syrians have fled their homeland, renting apartments in east Amman, sleeping in makeshift tent settlements in the Bekaa Valley, or confined to fenced-in tent-cities along the borders of Jordan, Turkey, and Iraq.” Check out the photos below to see how the violence in Syria has affected its people.
