President Bashar Assad: Desperate Conditions

desperate conditions: The sudden exodus of around 30,000 Syrians amid the summer heat has created desperate conditions and left aid agencies and the regional government struggling to accommodate them, illustrating the huge strain the 2 1/2-year-old Syrian conflict has put on neighbouring countries, according to 660 News. This is an unprecedented influx of refugees, and the main concern is that so many of them are stuck out in the open at the border or in emergency reception areas with limited, if any, access to basic services, said Alan Paul, emergency team leader for the Britain-based charity Save the Children and BAGHDAD Tens of thousands of Syrian Kurds swarmed across a bridge into neighbouring Iraqs northern self-ruled Kurdish region over the past few days in one of the biggest waves of refugees since the rebellion against President Bashar Assad began, U.N. officials said Monday. The mostly Kurdish men, women and children who made the trek join some 1.9 million Syrians who already have found refuge abroad from Syrias relentless carnage. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
