What About the Syrian Refugees?

I believe that the world is so upside down. We talk about helping the helpless and so on, but for over two years since April 2011 a country has been butchering it's people, leaving almost 6 million refugees in and around Syria homeless. This is an atrocity! Words cannot describe it. Yet all the human rights organizations remain it seems silent. If this were to happen to the Palestinian people the whole world would be in uproar, leading flotillas and making huge demonstrations and taking serious action, yet this IS happening just a few kilometers/miles from Israel and the world for the most part is SILENT. I personally have had enough and would like to bring to light some of the reality these are going through.

Here is a story from CVS Bulgaria about the Syrian, Zaatari Refugee Camp: 

We decided to drive to Zaatari camp and from a distance it came into view, a great swathe of white tents spread across the landscape. As we got closer the size of the camp (100.000 people) became very impressive. There seemed to be a mixture of simply built buildings and tents. We came in to the area close to the main road into the camp. I noticed there were lots of people on the road trying to hitch a ride into town. There were also a group of children trying to steal iron from a building site, the police were nearby but didn’t intervene.

Amir pointed to a family packing items into a car and explained they were escaping from Zaatari. I asked him how did he mean escaping? He said, people were climbing over the fence and escaping because they were disturbed by poor camp conditions. Bad water, no beds, poor sanitation, prostitution and violence were not uncommon on the camp. I have to admit, the man at the car looked around as we passed by him and he looked petrified with fear.
We went to the gates and a Jordanian guard told us we could not enter, he also told us we could not take photographs. We turned around in the car and headed back to the main road.

Back at the main road Amir stopped to give a ride to a family. They had just a few bags and as Amir drove he asked them questions. They had decided to leave because of the problems on camp. Stories were being told of the trafficking of young women to highest bidders in Saudi for quick marriages. Old men were paying a fee to marry women thirty, forty. fifty or even sixty years younger than themselves and claiming they were helping the family. Many marriages have been annulled because the man just wanted to take the woman’s virginity. The family in the car had a teenage daughter and were desperate to be away from the camp. Teenagers as young as Fourteen were being sold.”
