3 Struggling to Survive. Refugees from Syria to TurkeyThe response of the international community to the Syrian refugee crisis – the largest such crisis in decades – has been an abject failure, with hopes of safety and security for most refugees cruelly denied. Funding and resettlement commitments remain entirely inadequate, and Syria’s neighbours have disproportionately shouldered the responsibility to receive the refugees. Turkey is hosting at least 1.6 million refugees from Syria, of which over 220,000 are accommodated in government-run refugee camps. Many individuals are being denied access to the safety of Turkish territory, and those who must cross irregularly are at risk of abuses such as push-backs, being fired on with live ammunition, or torture and other ill-treatment. Once they have reached Turkey, Syrian refugees’ legal status is not entirely clear or secure. Because the government-run camps are operating at full capacity, the vast majority of Syrian refugees must fend for themselves, resulting in widespread destitution. Amnesty International is calling on the international community to significantly scale up itssupport for refugees from Syria in the spirit of genuine responsibility-sharing. Amnesty International is also calling on the Turkish authorities to ensure safe passage for refugees from Syria, and to work with international partners to ensure that refugees’ essential needs are met

4 Syria Emergency ResponseDuring 2012, due to the escalating nature of the crisis in Syria, the scale and breadth of the humanitarian needs of those seeking asylum in Turkey, rose significantly.  In January of 2012, there were 9,500 Syrians seeking refuge in camps inside Turkey which has grown to 221,829 by the 18th March 2014, meaning more than a 20 fold increase over the period.  Subsequently the number and size of camps has expanded dramatically over the period, with 22 camps operational in March 2014.The conflict in Syria – triggering what is now the worst humanitarian crisis since World War II – is entering its 6th year, with no end in sight. Millions have been forced to flee their homes to neighbouring countries, their futures uncertain. Children continue to pay the highest price and bear the heaviest burden of the crisis: their education, emotional well-being and even their lives, are all at risk.The education and protection needs facing Syrian children in Turkey are enormous and growing by the day. Together with the Government of Turkey and our partners, UNICEF is striving to meet the challenges and prevent these boys and girls from becoming a ‘lost generation’.
