What Happened to Syria?

2021 Christmas Special - The First Refugees


Listen Later

We're starting a new holiday tradition, an episode focused on refugees and other humanitarian issues in Syria.

 

As early as 2011, tens of thousands of people were forced to flee the country. Today, more than six million displaced Syrians are demonized by hateful individuals and political movements all over the world.

 

Mesud (@MaybeMesud on Twitter) describes how he and his family were forced to leave Aleppo and the challenges they faced not only during the journey but also while establishing a new life in Turkey.
