Audio slideshow produced during an IWPR workshop for young Syrian journalists held in Beirut, February 2010.

Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi refugees who moved to Syria to escape violence in their country are struggling to lead a normal life. They risk arrest if they work illegally and many qualify for United Nations assistance.

Few want to go back, however, and the aim for many is resettlement abroad but the process is time-consuming.

  • I realy feel sorry for Iraqis refugees, victims of US invasion and spread of sectarian terrorist bands under the US occupation. Syria has welcomed and supported Iraqis, but Syria is not a rich country and need help to assist Iraqis refugees. Now Syrian society es targeted by USA-NATO (including Turkey), Israel, and Arab monarchies, vassals of Western neocolonial powers. Non sectarian and secular Syria is under threat and Christian and Muslim Iraqis in Syria,too.

  • ive been to damascus and met and stayed in homes of iraqi refugees they were so kind and friendly and had suffered so much. they do need help and i hope more will be helped to live a peaceful life
