That's what Doctors Without Borders puts into it's work and programs. Their personnel have long been on the ground in Syria and neighboring countries which are taking in refugees. THIS is where our focus and emphasis belongs - life, stability and wellness over disease, displacement and death.

2. What's at stake (partially)

"Syrian refugees are crossing the border into Iraqi Kurdistan in huge numbers, with more than 42,300 passing through the Peshkabour border crossing since it reopened on August 15. Teams from the international medical organization Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) have set up health posts on both sides of the border, providing medical consultations and distributing water to refugees waiting to be transferred to five transit camps currently being set up in Erbil and Sulaymaniya governorates." - See more at: http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/news/article.cfm?id=7027&cat=field-news#sthash.J3D62ZDC.dpuf

14. I am worried

The issue which the people of Syria are facing is really very bad and I don't know if I have seen the right video or it's just fake one, but I was upset after watching that video on YouTube.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

15. Well, MichaelKelley

You are right to be concerned. Syrians have suffered hugely in a civil war for the past couple of years. This article by David Remnick from the New Yorker late last month tells the tale and to me, is a cry for all the international community not to attack Syria, but to act with humanitarian aid to relieve the refugee situation (particularly in Jordan) on the ground.
