Now read the text below and check your answers to the previous task.

The United Nations (UN) is an international organization which was formed at the end of the
Second World War in October 1945 for the sake of preserving peace worldwide. Since its foundation, the
UN could resolve many conflicts peacefully. For example, in the period between 2004-2018, the UN was
able to end many disputes in many hot spots in Africa like: Burandi, Congo, Chad and Sudan. Similarly,
the organization managed to organize democratic elections in many war torn countries between 2011-
2016.

The United Nations ‘mission, however, is not only restricted to preventing wars. The organization,
through its 15 specialized agencies (UNICEF, UNESCO, FAO, WHO……..) works to ensure cultural, health
and economic development especially in poor countries.

Though the UN has not been able to create a free conflict world yet, it has led the foundations for
international communication. “At least, all countries can sit together at one table to discuss and find
ways to foster understanding and collaboration. Hopefully, one day, we will be able to end all struggles
and hatred.” Says Antonio Gutters, the current UN secretary general.

Read the text below and do the activities that follow.

Since the Syrian conflict began in 2011, millions of Syrians have fled the country escaping the horrors of
war. According to recent UN reports, there are about 6.6 million Syrian refugees living in camps in many
countries like Turkey, Germany, Jordan, Egypt and others.

Syrian Refugees live very unpleasant humanitarian conditions in those camps. Whole families seek
shelter in tents which lack the basic needs of life. Refugees can’t afford healthy food to eat or clean water
to drink. Their children can’t attend nurseries, kindergartens or schools. Families are in a constant struggle
to survive. All they dream about is a peaceful life with no bombs’ explosions and no death.

The future might not be really promising for Syrian refugees, however, they still hope that one day the
war will come to end and they will be able to go back home.
