Refugee Response

We Can’t Run From War And Then Die For Cold

The article I choose was set in Syria. This article is about a young
boy name Yayha, who is 15 months old. He has been fighting to
stay alive with his mother named Janda and his family. They have
fled Syria because of the conflict that is going on, but they have
had to deal with the harsh winter that has been happening.

They found a shelter at the Domiz Refugee Camp in Dohuk, which
they have been at. While they have been their they have had to be
living in a tent with no heaters, water or electricity. They had to
melt snow to get water because they didn’t have any. This is such
a horrible issue because this family could die just because they
feel unsafe in their own country. This is also horrible because
kids are having lung and heart problems because it so cold and
the dirt is affecting them.

I personally think this is horrible and we need to try and solve it
by having better camps that are dryer and have a heater or a fire
in them that makes them feel safe. I also think we should help by
having better clothes for them and more water and food for them.
