Thank you Honorable Chair,

Syrian refugees are breaking through and dispersing to

neighboring countries. Turkey is one of the many countries
that is accepting Syrian refugees. About 270,000 Syrians
live in camps run by the Turkish government. They get
freedom, but most cannot work and need a permit to even
leave the camps. In addition, we are struggling with
supporting all refugees. Since we accept so many we can
not even give them the basic necessities; food, water,
nutrition, sanitation, medical supplies and more shelter
space. We need to be prepared for more incoming Syrian
refugees who are needing our help in Turkey.
