Thoughts on the Ongoing Refugee Crisis

For months, we have been receiving daily updates on the ongoing refugee crisis in Europe. These refugees have no choice but to move on the safer countries. Their own country is too dangerous; countries like Syria have been torn apart by war and are no longer safe to live in. Most of them are arriving to countries in Europe like Greece and Hungary and ultimately moving forward to countries such as Germany. My heart breaks whenever I read news about these refugees. I feel so sad and angry about what has happened to them. I think the world should have reacted faster when the Syrian Civil War began back in 2011. We would have been able to save more lives and families from this terrible fate. What did they ever do to deserve this? It must be so difficult for families especially, because they are travelling with children. Their future is so uncertain; they do not even know where they will get their next meal from. I think it is great that countries in Europe, such as Germany, are welcoming refugees with open arms. But it will definitely put a strain on these countries economically as the government has to pay for the expenses for the refugees. For example, many European countries are giving shelter to the refugees, paying for their meals etc. etc. It is great that Europe is doing its best to help these refugees; however we should not let them shoulder all the responsibility for the refugees. I think that other countries such as the US, Canada, and other Asian countries can also take more responsibility for these refugees; at least they can provide financial support for the refugees. I believe we should all work together to make this world a better place! For months, we have been receiving daily updates on the ongoing refugee crisis in Europe.
