The Norwegian Refugee Council or NRC is a humanitarian non-governed and non-profit agency that works to provide assistance, protection, and support to refugees or people whom are displaced worldwide. This organization was originally called Aid to Europe to assist the refugees around Europe after World War 2. They help people whom have been forced to flee from their homes. They help people who have a need to be internationally protected and haven’t had their needs met. There are upwards of 13 million people have been displaced due to the result of the conflicts in Syria and Iraq. Currently the NRC is providing assistance in the form of shelter, education, water, and legal help to more than one and a half million people in the Middle East. The people in Syria do not have adequate running water or sewage system. This causes them to receive clean water, nor for waste to be removed from their homes. NCR has assisted them with the repair of water and their sanitation infrastructure. Children displaced from the conflicts haven’t been receiving education. The NCR has helped to rebuild schools and community centers so students can continue learning. In Iraq during the winter it gets very cold between 30 and 40 degrees and sometimes a slight freeze. NCR has setup shelters that provide life-saving assistance during this time. They also provide water, …show more content…
The NRC upgrades an existing property ‘which is owned by the Lebanese families’ whom provide shelter to the Syrian people's rent free for 12 months. Lebanon has the highest amount of refugees in the world with a population of around 4.2 million. Lebanon has stopped allowing refugees to enter their country and the refugees already in have a difficult time renewing their legal stay. The main goal of the NRC here is to identify homeowners who wish to create a better home and then to allow the refugees to live rent free for 1

SUMMARY: The Syrian Civil War between the Syrian government, and the insurgents, as well as the Free Syrian Army has been escalating since early 2011. The United States, and our allies have faced difficulty in sending aid to Syria, and continue to deal with obstacles in sending even basic medications to Syrian civilians. However, the United States and its allies have also contributed to the lack of organization and the disparity in Syria by sending aid and artillery to individuals based only on political connection, and ignoring organization, local alliances, and without a true understanding of the reality of the Syrian localities to best protect the Syrian protestors. The question addressed in this memo will be defining the viable options to be pursued in Syria, how to pursue them, and assessing the most beneficial path of least resistance when offering aid, funds, and artillery to specific groups in the country. The recommendation will be that although the best alternative action item would be to choose a Syrian group with the least oppositional values comparative to the United States to fund, supply with arms, and train; that the United States should do nothing for the time being. Given the physical and financial risk involved with the Syrian Civil War, it would be prudent for the United States to simply observe how the war progresses over the next several months, as well as complete some research to truly understand the state of affairs in local areas of Syria to determine the extent to which the United States could identify a group to provide aid to, as well as the extent to which the United States involvement would be within Syria.

It is often easy to castigate large cities or third world countries as failures in the field of affordable housing, yet the crisis, like an invisible cancer, manifests itself in many forms, plaguing both urban and suburban areas. Reformers have wrestled passionately with the issue for centuries, revealing the severity of the situation in an attempt for change, while politicians have only responded with band aid solutions. Unfortunately, the housing crisis easily fades from our memory, replaced by visions of homeless vets, or starving children. Metropolis magazine explains that “…though billions of dollars are spent each year on housing and development programs worldwide, ? At least 1 billion people lack adequate housing; some 100 million have none at all.? In an attempt to correct this worldwide dilemma, a United Nations conference, Habitat II, was held in Istanbul, Turkey in June of 1996. This conference was open not only to government leaders, but also to community organizers, non governmental organizations, architects and planners. “By the year 2000, half the world’s people will live in cities. By the year 2025, two thirds of the world population will be urban dwellers ? Globally, one million people move from the countryside to the city each week.? Martin Johnson, a community organizer and Princeton professor who attended Habitat II, definitively put into words the focus of the deliberations. Cities, which are currently plagued with several of the severe problems of dis-investment ?crime, violence, lack of jobs and inequality ?and more importantly, a lack of affordable and decent housing, quickly appeared in the forefront of the agenda.
In response to the recent failure of the international community to prevent the famine crisis in the Horn of Africa since July 2011, Suzanne Dvorak the chief executive of Save the Children wrote that, “We need to provide help now. But we cannot forget that these children are wasting away in a disaster that we could - and should - have prevented” she added, “The UN estimates that every $1 spent in prevention saves $7 in emergency spending.” (Dvorak, 2011).
Refugee Resettlement is a collaborative process between countries, international organizations and non governmental organizations (NGOs) that give refugees the chance to start a new life in a stable country. (Miliband, 2016) The UNHRC is the international body that serves as a gateway to resettlement while receiving nations maintain their own security, vetting and resettlement processes. No country is legally obliged to resettle refugees, therefore there are only a limited number of countries that offer refugee resettlement and between these countries, there is significant variation in resettlement policies. (UNHCR, 2016) Resettlement requires collaboration and investments at an early stage (establishing infrastructure, processes and relationships
The Saints for Syria campaign, through the hard work and vision of many passionate people, is one of the most amazing movements I have ever had the privilege of being a part of. NorKam school presses for its students to be aware of the world through inviting international students with open arms, providing an IB curriculum, and all of the clubs that communicate local and global awareness - that to me is global citizenship. And I am honoured to have been able to spend my senior year with so many wonderful people who have helped expand my
The positive thing out of this is that Syria now has more room for Syrians with the Palestinians retreating back out of Syria although it came with a big price with the death of 200,000 people which is easily the negative cause out of his conflict. Because of the three million people that have fled Syria, other countries including Lebanon, Jordan, and Turkey, have had a hard time dealing with border control and people rushing into their country. Although three million is a lot of people, it is assumed that close to 6.5 million people are displaced within Syria bringing the total number to 9.5 million people, half of Syria’s population. The UN stepped in in December 2013 and provided about 6.5 billion dollars towards medical care, food, water, shelter, education, and health services. Many deaths have been caused because of chemical weapons in August of 2013 close to the city of Damascus. After this incident, President Bashar al-Assad agreed to a deal with the UN and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons(OPCW) to remove or destroy Syria’s chemical weapons

Many people believe it is not a good idea to improve refugee camps because refugees in particular do not reside in the camp for a long period. The local government misplaces the resources sent by UNHCR (United Nations of High Commissioner for Refugees); however, doing so will benefit both refugees and natives who live near the camps. The UNHCR should improve water treatment, bring education to people of every age, and improve educational environment and sanitation because the refugees will return home with a tremendous knowledge gained in the camps. Camps settled near the villages, many natives will benefit of the educational opportunity. But because the local government misplaces the
They have been flooded with humanitarian aid, donations and with programs that allow them to rehabilitate into their new homes. In Sweden, immediate emergency accommodation is given to asylum seekers on arrival followed with temporary housing. The Western world is welcoming to those who are fleeing their war-torn homes, and giving them a second chance at life. Perhaps, western intervention is best at resolving post-conflict issues such as rehabilitation of
The humanitarian response to the internal displacement situation in Ukraine is a coordinated effort by multiple organizations. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) works together with ten operational partners providing support to refugees through protection and legal assistance, policy development and capacity building, distribution of emergency shelter materials and non-food items (Ukraine: UNHCR). Despite the humanitarian response to the internal displacement situation in Ukraine as a coordinated effort by government, international organizations, and national and international NGOs working in partnership, civil casualties are still high and major concerns also include very rigid winters, shelling
Some people that live in poverty do not have anywhere to call home, others “die quietly in some of the poorest villages on earth, far removed from the scrutiny and the conscience of the world” (Shah 1). “The modern urban household is an extremely expensive thing” (Galbraith 508); this is why we, the people, should provide safe and affordable shelter for families in need of an improved shelter or a shelter at all. A variety of organizations exist to construct homes for low-income individuals. These organizations include both faith-based enterprises and secular groups. In either case, these organizations tend to utilize donated supplies, cash support and volunteer labor to build durable, safe homes for economically disadvantaged individuals and families. One of the most popular organization is an ecumenical Christian ministry, Habitat for Humanity. Habitat for Humanity began constructing homes for poor families in 1976. By the end of 2009, the organization constructed over 350,000 homes in 3,000 communities around the world. During the period from its founding through the end of 2009, Habitat for Humanity provided safe, comfortable homes for over 1.75 million people. As you can see, this organization has improved the lives of many and continues to do so. Providing homes for the people in need of a safe shelter will improve the success of society and lead us out of
