What is the Syrian refugee crisis?

The Syrian refugee crisis refers to the mass displacement of millions of Syrians who have been forced to flee their homes due to the ongoing civil war in Syria. It began in 2011 when peaceful protests against the government escalated into a full-scale conflict. The crisis has resulted in widespread violence, destruction, and human rights abuses, leading to the displacement of over 6 million Syrians within the country and the flight of more than 5 million refugees to neighboring countries and beyond. The crisis has had significant political, social, and economic implications for both Syria and the countries hosting the refugees.
