Assessment of the situation of the Syrian refugees in Kurdistan region Iraq (MPC 2012/2015)

This study looks at the Syrian refugee status quo in different ways than other reports, as it has directly accessed and interviewed the Syrians within the Kurdistan region in order to assess their situation. Secondly, the study presents the possibility of finding a way out and adoption of mechanisms and programs that contribute to reducing the suffering of the Syrian people. Thirdly, the study attempts to provide information so that ways of providing support, whether of Syrian refugees in countries of asylum, or to the countries that have absorbed these refugees, can be improved upon. The study also becomes important for the Syrian refugees living in the Kurdistan region as it highlights that: the situation is difficult for Syrian refugees spread throughout Kurdistan; and that the Kurdistan authorities have limited experience in dealing with waves of refugees, and it has become increasingly difficult to bear the burden of providing services to them and to meet their needs.
