1m Syrian refugees are struggling, says UN

With Turkey’s government-run refugee camps operating at full capacity, more than 1 million Syrian refugees who have flocked to Turkey to escape fighting at home are struggling to survive on their own, according to an Amnesty International report.

Turkey, which hosts half of the 3.2 million refugees who have fled Syria, is shouldering the heaviest burden of what the report calls the world’s worst refugee crisis in a generation.

“In three days in September 2014, Turkey received 130,000 refugees from Syria — more than the entire European Union had in the past three years,” the report said.
