Nowadays,humans are facing severe problems. one of the most difficult and complex is (refugees).
This expression is defined as " a person who flee to a foreign country or power to escape danger or persecution".
This problem has been effecting the humankind for ages, especially after the second world war, thus the office of the United Nation High Commission for Refugee (UNHCK) was establish in 1950.
Although there have been some other human rights organizations which work with UNHCK to protect and help refugees, the number of refugees has risen to over 41.9 millions by 2008.Therefore, there are a lot of them who can get no help. However,the exact number of refugees can be even higher than what we think, for some countries don't register all the refugees who cross their borders.
Most of the refugees leave their countries due to conflicts in there. For instance, the American war in Iraq left more than 16% of the Iraqi population uprooted. Also, the war in Gaza added thousands of Palestinian refugees inside Gaza to other 7 millions Palestinian who have sought refuge in different countries.
Other people have fled from their houses because of natural disasters damaged their properties, like Tsunami or volcanoes. In addition, climate change is one of the major reasons which increases the number of refugees since it makes floods,drought, hurricanes,....etc happen more frequently.
To sum up,refugees crises are tough ones,so finding a solution to them is not easy. However it is vital. In my opinion, people's behaviour is the cause of most of them.Thereby I believe that people can find a solution if they have the will to change.
