The United Nations Refugee Agency calls the crisis in Syria “the biggest humanitarian emergency of our era”. Since the Syrian civil war began in 2011, the civilian population has borne the brunt of the violence. To escape the violence, more than 3.3 million people have fled to neighboring countries.

Of these, 10 percent, or roughly 300,000 people, are in dire need of resettlement to other countries, according to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, or UNHCR.
