The huge refuge from Syria due to civil war is a great tragedy. The civil war started in Syria after Arab Spring in 2011. The example of that much heavy displacement of a population in any country can not be found in the history. Among the displaced persons 0.74 people have moved to other places within the country while 0.48 million people have shifted to neighboring countries. Among them 0.27 million are staying in Turkey, whereas, 0.21 million Syrians are living in Jordon, Egypt, Lebanon and Iraq. Similrly, more than half million Syrians are registered as refugees in different states of Middle East. While the richest Arabian countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Oman, and Kuwait have closed their doors to Syrian refugees. However, Saudi foreign Minister Adil claimed that 0.4 million Syrian refugees are living in the Kingdom. According to the United Nations High commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)'s statistics, 0.864 million Syrian refugees have applied for asylum to 37 European countries application from April 2011 to October 2016. However, the actual focus of International media is western scenario and the western politics is also rounding around the Syrian refugee's issue. Let us have a look over the refugee's issue in the light of facts figures overlooking media hysteria ans statements.
