Ongoing Civil War and International Community

international community: Today, it is swollen with Syrian exiles, victims of their countrys ongoing civil war, and serves as a frightening reminder of the instability that could linger like poison if Canada and the international community fail to defuse Syrias crisis, according to The Star. Originally home to about 10,000 Palestinians who were displaced by the creation of Israel in 1948, it has recently seen its population double as Syrians have flooded in seeking shelter and The Shatila refugee camp on the southern edge of this city has been a wound of war for 66 years. One square kilometre of some of the most densely populated misery on Earth, Shatila is a maze of alleys, battle-scarred buildings and destitute refugees. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
