Persuasive Essay On Syrian Refugees

“No one puts their children on a boat unless the water is safer than the land”, Warsan Shire, ‘Home’. As you may be aware, Syria has been at war for the past six years. Consequently, the number of refugees is continuously increasing, however the refugees are receiving minimal support compared to how much support they need. According to the UN “refugees are people fleeing conflict or persecution. They are defined and protected in international law, and must not be expelled or returned to situations where their life and freedom are at risk”. Do you not think that people who are privileged enough to live under a roof and have dinner on their tables should help children who die from starvation and have to live in squalor?
