MaximsNewsNetwork: SYRIA REFUGEE CAMP AL-TANF CLOSES (UNICEF)
MaximsNewsNetwork: 12 March 2010 - UNICEF: Syria - The closure last month (February 2010) of the Al-Tanf refugee camp on the Syrian-Iraqi border ends one of the sorriest chapters in the story of Iraqs post-war refugee community. Commonly referred to as a no-mans land, this slither of unclaimed border housed as many as 1000 Palestinian refugees who fled sectarian strife in Iraq. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Anas, Refugee: What is there? Nothing, There is not much food. There is almost nothing. It is just desert. Despite the challenging nature of the camp, it was also the scene of various bold initiatives designed to provide entertainment and support for the younger refugees. SOUNDBITE (English) Tareq Alsaleh, Representative, Capoeira Arab: UNICEF and Terre Les Hommes had the idea to bring Capoeira there. Because they saw us working already in jails here in Syria. And about the positive impact and this was just fantastic for this place. Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art form what involves acrobatics, art, music, ritualised fighting, and dance. It involves respect for the others, peacefulness. Its a very great tool for integration and social communication in every community. By introducing Capoeira in weekly sessions the camp residents began to see a marked improvement in the behaviour of younger inhabitants. SOUNDBITE (English) Patrizia Giffone, Psychosocial Consultant: Through the Capoeira, they had the chance to express all their anger and frustration. Children can be very <b>...</b>

www.unicef.org DAMASCUS, Syrian Arab Republic, 6 July 2010 -- Lulls in conversation with 16-year-old Iraqi refugee Gailan are soon filled with the gentle inhale-exhale of sleep. Outside, the Damascus streets are silent, except for the shuffling of those woken early by the intense morning heat. Gailan has just worked a 16-hour shift in a textile factory. He snatches sleep as his two sisters ready themselves for school. Both girls have been studying since dawn -- determined to capitalize on the opportunities offered to Iraqis by a strained Syrian education system. But with a 10-member family to support, education is a luxury that Gailan cannot afford. Financial constraints prevent a great many young Iraqis in Syria from studying. The gap in Gailan's own education is now five years -- an extended absence that is very difficult to bridge. To help get dropouts like him back into schooling, UNICEF and its partners -- including the European Union -- have initiated a programme of remedial classes and out-of-hours vocational workshops. It is a programme of support for those who have a multitude of reasons for not attending school and one very powerful reason to return -- their desire. "I am desperate for education," says Gailan. "Before, I wanted to be an engineer. Everybody loves to build their country. I want that chance again."

Audio slideshow produced during an IWPR workshop for young Syrian journalists held in Beirut, February 2010. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi refugees who moved to Syria to escape violence in their country are struggling to lead a normal life. They risk arrest if they work illegally and many qualify for United Nations assistance. Few want to go back, however, and the aim for many is resettlement abroad but the process is time-consuming.

Jisr Al Shughar Refugees make it across the border into Turkey today and tell their harrowing stories of how they escaped death at the hands of the Syrian Dictator's Army. These Villagers are saying things such as : '"They poisoned our water and our kids are vomiting after drinking it, and the secret police surrounded our whole town and they are now burning our houses and burning our farms. The secret police are wearing regular peoples' clothing and turned off our electricity and then turned off the water even though they had already poisened it. They shut down our hospital although we were afraid to take injured people there anyway as they were killing the injured when they showed up at the hospital. There are no terrorists here - only the Army and secret police are here and they are the ones bombing our homes and killing us." The reporter says so what is all this for why is this happening to the Syrian people?? and the Villagers all respond collectively (at 1:33 sec into video) - "For Freedom" "AL HARREYEH" He goes "You did all this for Freedom" and they say "Yes" جسرالشغور شهادات اللاجئين على الحدودالتركية 9-6-2011

MaximsNewsNetwork: SCHOOLS in SYRIA for IRAQI REFUGEES (UNICEF, EU)
MaximsNewsNetwork: SCHOOLS in SYRIA for IRAQI REFUGEES (UNICEF, EU)
MaximsNewsNetwork: 09 June 2010 - UNICEF: Syria - Students in the poor Syrian districts where a large number of Iraqi refugees are living were presented new materials for school by the government's ministry of education, UNICEF and the European Union (EU). UNICEF and the EU have teamed up to offer commodities and infrastructural care to ensure schools get the most essential rehabilitation and supplies. UNICEF's intervention on behalf of Iraqi refugees and the host community is based on a medium- and long-term plan as most of the refugees from Iraq in Syria have no immediate intention of returning home. The education support focuses on expansion of the Syrian educational infrastructure to ensure access to education for all children, enhancing the quality of education through the child friendly school initiative, and creating opportunities for the re-integration of dropouts through informal education and life-skills based education. Seeking to understand how best to buoy student education rights in light of these pressures, UNICEF is asking students about what their schools really require. The children's aid agency and the EU will continue to listen and work with students, teachers and parents to ensure they can learn in a safe and clean environment.

The demonstration was vocal, about rights and Syria - a familiar sight. The difference, however, was that this was taking place in Turkey and the slogans were in support of Bashar al-Assad and against those defying his regime. The rally, at the town of Samandag in Hatay province, was predominantly by members of the Turkish Alevi community, a Shia offshoot with links to the ruling Alawites in Syria. They were protesting against allowing refugees, who are overwhelmingly Sunni, being allowed to come into Turkey. Around 7,000 people have registered with the Turkish authorities so far, after fleeing the fighting; another 4,000 are believed to have...
