'Prototype example': How Syria's civil war drove a refugee crisis still unsolved today - Velshi - MSNBC
With Syria’s long civil war over and many countries hoping that Syrian refugees return home, the path forward is not so simple. Syria still lacks many basic resources and poverty is high.
David Miliband, president and CEO of the International Rescue Committee says Syria is a “prototype example” of how conflict within a country can exacerbate poverty and worsen other issues like child malnutrition. Miliband says policy around Syrian refugees must “focus on the people” and “respect the choices Syrians themselves are making.” - Aired on 12/22/2024.
