re: #425 The War TARDIS

You’ve got a million refugees from Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq and NGOs, the UN, and Jordanian efforts are quite overloaded. As that article notes, the refugees Jordan has taken in is like the US adding the population of Canada in one shot. It’s just not possible to provide adequate humanitarian care and services for all of them.

The solution is to grant assistance, which has been done, both directly to the Jordanian government, through UNHCR, and trying to settle down the conflicts in those neighboring countries so their refugees can return from where they came.

But because the fighting continues along its borders, this would be a Herculean task and not likely to be concluded anytime soon.
