In just over three years, over 3.2 million women, men and children have fled violence,
persecution and other intolerable hardships in Syria for the hope of safety and security
outside of the country. Neighbouring states have disproportionately shouldered the
responsibility to receive Syrian refugees. As of October 2014, Lebanon has 1.13 million
registered Syrian refugees,2 Jordan is hosting 619,000 Syrian persons of concern,3 while at
least 1.6 million refugees from Syria reside in Turkey.
