Question

Why is the Syrian Refugee Crisis considered a global issue rather than just one country’s issue?

Answer 1

Because the cause of the crisis is many European countries.

Answer 2

Images of Syrians fleeing their homes and taking treacherous journeys in search of safety in Europe have dominated the news as levels of global displacement have escalated. Figures released on Monday by the UN refugee agency, the UNHCR, show that forced displacement affected more than 65 million people in 2015, the highest level ever recorded. Most of these people are in developing countries in their regions of origin.
