5 Resource: Introduction to child refugees Every day, somewhere in the world, children become refugees. They flee their countries because their lives are in danger. If they stay, they risk being treated badly because of their race, religion, nationality or their parents political beliefs. Perhaps they flee because their country is being torn apart by war. But young children usually don t understand the reasons... they are scared and they run. They take with them only a few things which they can carry. Often there is no room for their most precious possessions. What is a refugee? A person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. Many of them cannot return home or are afraid to do so. How many refugees are there? The UN estimates that there are currently 65 million refugees around the world right now. How many Syrian refugees are there? There are around 4.8 million Syrian refugees. This is according to the UN in Where do they live? The majority of Syrian refugees live in camps in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, as well as many other countries. A person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. Many of them cannot return home or are afraid to do so. Refugee camps often become home - many refugees end up living in refugee camps for years. However, they need, and have a right to, all the things we do shelter, food, clean water, medical care and education. Separation Many refugee children end up alone: Chaos of escape means children easily lose their parents and families
6 In Syria, many children have lost parents in the conflict These children have to grow up fast missing out on their childhood Food and Health It is very hard for refugees to get enough food to feed themselves and their families even with help from food aid. The food that most refugees receive from this food aid is usually very basic. Without help, refugees in camps would suffer from hunger and malnutrition. The food which most refugees receive comes from donations, usually surplus supplies such as grains and dried beans and maize. There is limited fruit and veg and as a result, children do not get enough vitamins and nutrients. This means that they suffer from stunted growth and malnutrition. This makes them more likely to catch diseases and become ill. It is important that refugee children have access to medical help like all children, it is best for them to receive regular checkups and vaccinations, to make sure that their health is fine and that they are growing as they should. This is difficult to achieve in a refugee camp as there are often not enough hospitals or doctors and nurses to treat all the inhabitants. In some camps, doctors and nurses are having to train some refugees as medical helpers. Internally displaced people There are also close to 6 million Internally Displaced People (IDP) within Syria. These are people who have been forced to flee from their homes for the same reasons as a refugee, but have not left their own country. Unlike refugees, IDP are not protected by international law or eligible to receive many types of aid. SOS Children s Villages is one of the last organisations left in Aleppo, supporting IDP in the city, with a safe space for children to have some respite from the conflict. SOS is working across Syria to support IDP, helping displaced families, providing them with things like milk, clean water, and more.
7 Resource: Refugees what s the difference? Write your answers in the spaces below. What is the one difference between refugees and you and me? What events do you think could have happened to cause a person to flee and leave everything behind? What types of experience might refugees endure during their escape? How would you feel if you were a refugee who had to leave your home, family and possessions behind and live in another country?
8 Resource: Refugees problems and solutions Use this interactive and thought provoking sheet to help high level students understand the numerous difficulties faced by those living in refugee camps and by those who organise them. Get students to write down their solutions next to the problems listed below (Or, for lower ability or younger students, complete this activity as a whole class) Sheet objectives: Show students just how difficult it is to a) organise a refugee camp and b) how hard it is to live in one Get students to think independently Help students develop problem solving skills Getting more out of the sheet: Go around the class and ask for different students solutions. Ask them to explain and justify their solutions
9 Refugees problems and solutions Imagine you are the director of a charity helping to organise a refugee camp in Lebanon, Jordan or Iraq for Syrian refugees. It is your job to identity the problem and try and come up with solutions to some of the big issues facing families and children in the refugee camp. This challenge is designed to be thought provoking, getting you to appreciate the difficulties associated with living in, and running, refugee camps. Despite charities organising food packages for people, there is not enough food for everyone and children are becoming malnourished. Families have very little money and have to send their children out to work in order to survive. One 12 year-oldboy spends his days selling crisps instead of playing and learning. Solutions e.g. Persuade governments across the world to increase their contributions to food aid and make sure that there is as much specially fortified food for children and babies available as possible. Children no longer attend school because there is no money. Any money there is must be spent on food and other basic essentials. With lots of people living close together limited access to sanitation and clean drinking water means that infectious diseases and illnesses spread fast. Security is an issue, with crime and disorder spreading. Some children are even being recruited by armed groups.

12 Resource: Case studies Case study 1 Fear is the trademark of our daily life" - how Syrian families try to survive (adapted from original article by Carole Alfarah). Mohamed (46) and Amani (31) have four children: Rama (14), Lana (11), Shahed (6) and Zakaraia (4). Today, Mohamed is unemployed. He worked in an embroidery workshop in Damascus - and lost his job following the war in Syria. For 6 months now I have had no job. My family recently escaped from our home. Every day there was shooting and random shelling. One night, when the fighting was very close, I hid my family in the bathroom. All night, we lay on the floor full of fear. As a father, my duty is to protect my family and to provide them with care and support, but how can I reassure and comfort? I did not know what to do in this situation. A few months ago, there was a huge explosion in Kazaz where Mohamed s daughters go to school. They were in school that day. I will never forget the moment of the explosion; the sound was so strong. When I read in the news that it took place in Kazaz, all that came into my mind was: Rama and Lana, my daughters! I left home, ran towards the school screaming, 'Please God, protect my daughters!' Since that day my daughters fear going to school. Today we live with the family of my wife in the Naher Aysheh area and it is not a secure area either, but we don't have any other choice. Everything is unknown and uncertain. I can't send my daughters to school, I am too worried. We used to live in peace, we never needed anyone's support." Lana, the eleven-year-old, says: "I love going to school but none of my friends wants to go there because of the explosions, even my sister, she is often very scared. I want to go back home, it is the only place where I feel comfortable."
13 Case study 2 Children in Damascus have become so accustomed to the loud sounds of rocket fire and the sight of smoke rising in the distance, that they no longer take notice, said Tommy Standún from SOS Children s Villages. Tommy is one the few Europeans to witness the current reality facing displaced families as they prepare for Ramadan in the Syrian capital. The moment he arrived in Hamza and Abbas Mosque, he heard a loud blast. In spite of the shattering noise created by a rocket that has just exploded within a kilometre of the mosque, a little girl does not let go of the toy doll she holds tightly. The head of the mosque shows how some of Syria s displaced people live. Many families are living in the mosque. Mattresses cover the available floor space. Men and boys sleep in one room while women, girls and babies share a similar room at the opposite side of the mosque. People try their best to keep their own small areas as clean and tidy as possible. It is important for them to keep their dignity. In a small kitchen volunteers prepare up to 500 meals every day. They feed the families living in the mosque as well as other people desperate for food. The price of infant milk and staple foods is very high and people cannot afford to buy food. Another rocket explodes. Byan only went to school for 1 month this year. Her dream of becoming a teacher is fading. She has just found out that she has failed her exams. Her parents are desperate to get her and her brothers and sisters back to school because they understand the importance of education. Holding her one-year-old baby in her arms, her mother hopes that Byan can catch up in September but the fighting continues.
