Understanding the Current Refugee Crisis in Europe, Syria, and Around the World

[Turborama]

In which John Green discusses the Syrian refugee crisis and the growing number of refugees from Syria, Afghanistan, and Eritrea crossing the sea with the help of smugglers to seek refuge in European Union nations.

Also discussed: The difference between migrants and refugees, the rights of refugees as established by international law, the globalization of all regional crises, and how the death of 3-year-old Alan Kurdi galvanized the world.

Another really good one that's more concise and with graphics...

2. Watch This Important Video

What we know about the crisis in the Middle East and Europe comes from second-hand, watered-down, slanted corporate news outlets.

This video is different.

It's a little lengthy and wordy, but it's clear--with a non-partisan humanitarian emphasis.

This guy really did his homework!
