Current Event March 7th 2013

The article is about thousands of people fleeing from Syria to surrounding countries such as; Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan, Iraq, and Egypt. Some leave because they are traumatized by war or the pain of lost relatives.

This impacts Syria because they are losing people to work for them, so they are losing money for their country. This impacts other countries because Jordan's energy, water, health, and education services have been severely strained. Turkey has spent more than $600 million setting up 17 refugee camps, with more coming. Jordan also does not allow refugees to work for them, so if they can't work then they are losing money for their country.
