al yormouk camp
with a heavy heart i must confirm the death of the human conscience. wait hasn't it died 6 decades ago?.. alright okay whatever. I am trying to be deep but you know what we have tried everything but nothing has worked, and writing to let more people feel sorry about some people's misery and suffering is all what i can do so here i am writing about the yarmouk camp. it's really breaks my heart to see the infants dying from hunger it's not a movie or drama, it's so real.
I am like other people in my age don't really care about who dies and when but seeing all these pictures of the kids it has stopped me to think about it for a while. then i was chatting with my overseas friends and i was really surprised that they never actually heard about what is going on there so i decided to write this. honestly, we always say no one dies hungry, but actually it's very possibly possible and thanks to Al-asad forces now we have seen a real proof but i guess it's going further than just proving that we all we were wrong, it's time to let Al-asad knows that we got the point STOP it, END the siege. let me pause and state some historical data, the camp is a 2.11 square, was established in 1957 for the Palestinian refugees to shelter them after the 1948 catastrophe. Although it’s not an officially recognized camp by UNRWA, it is the largest Palestinian community in Syria , the life conditions seemed to be very good prior to the clashes, comparing to other Palestinians camps in Syria. Back then the camp was home to 170,000 Palestine refugees. In December 2012 and in the months since, armed conflict has caused at least 140,000 Palestine refugees to flee their homes in Yarmouk. because the camp is just 8 km to the center of damascus, it has sheltered a lot of the syrians who have left their homes due to the clashes and shelling in Damascus and Ref Dimashq.
Exactly in In December,26th, 2012 the rebel groups took control of the area, with government forces controlling the

    Freedom. At some point in our lives we have all wanted a certain freedom. Whether it is freedom to do as you please or freedom to go explore the world. Though, most of us never got the chance to be free, and some of us might never have that chance. The book we studied in class is a classic memoir written by Elie Wiesel, a unforgettable novelist, titled Night. In this memoir Elie Wiesel is writing about his past life as a prisoner in a Jewish concentration camp along with his family. Wiesel writes about how he had suffered from being kicked out of his home in Sighet, having to split apart from his mother and his sister, Tzipora, and having to continue on to the next location with only his father by his side. Wiesel wrote about his tragedies whilst in the concentration camps; how he and his father were treated like animals because of their religion; getting beat up and abused each day. At first, reading the memoir did not interest me at all, I was bored within the first two chapters, however as I started reading more of the book I became more and more intrigued in his life tragedies. Reading about the awful events that had occurred in Wiesels’ childhood I felt heartbroken, no child or even adults should ever feel that much pain and depression from others, it is not right to be treated in such ways. I will be writing a personal response to the Elie Wiesels ‘Night’.…

    December 7th, 1941, which is what Franklin D. Roosevelt called “a day which will live in infamy” is the day in which Pearl Harbor was bombed and the United States got involved in World War II. This also caused tremendous fear and distrust towards Japanese ancestors, even if they were American citizens, and led to Executive Order 9066 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942, authorizing the Secretary of War to prescribe certain areas as military zones, resulting in the deportation of Japanese Americans to internment camps, such as Manzanar. Consequently, some Japanese-Americans saw their family structures disintegrate because of their experiences at Camp Manzanar.…

    The creation of schools is one of the leading ways to produce hope and stability in refugee camps. Many would love to go to school because, currently they have no other option, but to teach themselves. Refugees can recall having great memories of their past school experiences, which they use as motivation to continue to learn. On account of my involvement with a refugee relief organization, I have been assigned the job of creating schools in the Chechen refugee camps of Chechnya. The primary means of survival and daily focus for these refugees have been through humanitarian aid. That assistance is made up of shelter, clothing, food, and basic necessities. Securing those fundamental desiderata for the camps has been a priority for continued existence. The steps for prosperous implementation of an education program are presented and discussed. When we look at successful communities, countries and cultivation, training is a key component to meet the immediate needs of its members and plan for long term sustainability and emergence for hereafter generations. According to Yusupov (2012), “when lack of educational opportunities comes into play, the very heart and foundation of communities begins to crumble and the ability to nurture and feed its residents is seriously at risk”(p.1). Everyone has the ambition and potential to become better, but without an education at what point can they start.…

    “Psychological Impact of Life as Refugees: A Pilot Study on a Syrian Camp in Jordan”. Tropical Journal of Pharmaceutical Research 14.9 (2015): 1695-1701. Academic Search Complete. Web. 20 February 2016. Basheti, Qunaibi, and Malas investigate psychological distresses endured by Syrian refugees at Alzatary Camp in Jordan to argue that the current medical support is not sufficient enough to treat the mental issues refugees suffer through. The researchers conducted a two month observational study to gather information on refugees’ living conditions, mental issues, and what medical services are provided. They soon came to the conclusion that the situation concerning the Alzatary Camp needs to be reevaluated, and a dedicated medical team is needed to meet the refugees’ needs. If their psychological needs are not met, then there could be unfortunate outcomes. Basheti, Qunaibi, and Malas provide statistical results from their research, concluding that presence of illnesses among the participants was reported by 79.5% of them, and 43% of respondents agreed that a strong medical assistance was needed. These statistical measures gives the authors credibility for their article, gaining support for their argument. Through the observational study, Basheti, Qunaibi, and Malas support their central claim that refugees need proper medical support to treat their psychological…
