Syrian Exodus report

Syrian Exodus

How would you feel in a place where killing is happening everywhere? Is this war going to end? You would probably be  hoping that this will never happen to your lovable country. Looking at people getting killed, raped, tortured and murdered made my heart bleed. We are so lucky here in New Zealand, we are not in that situation that Syria has to go through.

200,000 Syrians have lost their lives and over 11 million people have been forced to move away from their homes and own country. In March the 11th,  there were teenagers who were painting on a school wall so they were arrested and tormented. July 2011 hundreds of thousands were taken to the streets across the country.   This was how the war started.

The President of Syria took out freedom from his people. Rebel brigades fought and started to battle the government. The government controlled the cities, towns and countrysides, and  the fighting passed on to the capital of Syria, Damascus. In June 2013 the United Nations  said that 90,000 people have been killed in conflict.

The total killings as of March 2015  reached up to 220,000. The Government and rebel forces have been raging war and many civilians were suffering from lack of food, water and health supplies. 6,000 civilians have been killed by the government's air  strikes which was meant for the rebels.  The people were caught in the battle.

Nearly four million Syrians have fled Syria since the crisis had happen.  The syrian refugees are leaving to other countries such as america and britain and other countries including ours. 6.5 million syrian refugees have displaced syria.

In Syria people are dying and being shot by their own people, and this is not a way to solve this civil war. Maybe one day it could be us in this war, fighting and killing each other when this is not the solution.

What can we do to help the Syrians find a better peaceful place? Can we help the Syrians? If we can what is your  resolution?
