Abstract
Arabic Abstract:لا مبالغة في القول بأن الأزمة السورية تمثل أكبر تحد سياسي وإنساني وإنمائي في زماننا الحاضر.فقد حصدت العديد من الأرواح، وتسببت في دمار واسع، وأجبرت أعداداً هائلة على النزوح،وأعادت عجلة التقدم على سبيل التنمية إلى الوراء، وهددت أجيالاً في سوريا والبلدان المجاورة لها. كما أنها تحدت المجتمع الدولي أيضاً تحدياً يحمله على أن يحذو في استجابته الجماعية حذواً مختلفاً في التفكير والعمل.
English Abstract: Since the beginning of the Syrian crisis, over 6.5 million of the country’s people have been internally displaced and almost 4.4 million are registered refugees, which amounts to about half of Syria’s pre-crisis population. Prior to becoming refugees, many had suffered repeated shocks within Syria, leading them eventually to abandon their assets, property, and capital to seek safety in the neighboring countries.Although many Syrians are registered as refugees with the UNHCR and the authorities, they have few legal rights. While they are able to access public services, the availability of these services is severely constrained due to increased demand. Only a minority are housed in refugee camps where most of their essential material needs are met and financed by the international community.
