This article talks about conditions of refugees in Iraq and how their suffering was being witnessed by Angelina Jolie who was there to support those people living as Refugees. Most of the people she witnessed were suffering to get proper food and shelter since half of the Syrian population was already living in the Refugee camps leading to shortage of supplies. Many of the people had lost their loved ones and others were missing or being abducted by ISIS. Some children had both their father and mother killed in the war and had no one to support or look after themselves. Most children were traumatized through their loss and there was poverty all around. The article also focused that the humanitarian aid that was being provided by UN and other nations seemed to be much less than what was required. Many of the children had to leave their education and resources seemed to be inadequate. These people had no future of going back home and starting a new life. Angelina Jolie focused on defending refugee camps and asking the community to help these people.
My opinion on this article would be that no matter who starts the war, innocents and civilians are always the ones that are dragged and hurt. People do not realize that war brings destruction to mankind and loss of life. It always disrupts the peace and leads towards no solution. As with the war in Syria no one is sure that whether people would be able to go home or would their lives ever be the same after this war. Sometimes war is the only solution when things do not work out with peace. But war also means that nations should offer helping hands to these refugees, after all they are humans too. Why should these innocent people suffer when they haven't done anything? We need to understand the importance of human life and most importantly religion. It is not accurate to say that RELIGION is the cause of war. It is a very easy way of starting war between two communities. Therefore it is up to us to decide whether we want peace through talk or through killing of innocents civilians.
