Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    What conditions do refugees face on the journey?

    Model answer

    Refugees travel without documents, money or legal protection and often depend on smugglers. Sea crossings, desert routes and closed borders make the journey dangerous.

  2. 2

    How dangerous is the central Mediterranean crossing?

    Model answer

    The International Organization for Migration has recorded over 30,000 deaths and disappearances in the Mediterranean since 2014. The central route from Libya to Italy is the deadliest of all.

  3. 3

    What are the main risks to refugees living in camps?

    Model answer

    Overcrowding spreads disease and fire, and water and sanitation are often inadequate. Long stays without work or schooling waste years of a person's life.

  4. 4

    What is protracted displacement?

    Model answer

    Protracted displacement is a refugee situation lasting five years or more with no solution in sight. Most of the world's refugees now live in such situations.

  5. 5

    Describe the effect of the Syrian refugee movement on Lebanon.

    Model answer

    Lebanon took in over a million Syrians, the highest number per head of population of any country. Water, electricity, schools and rents all came under severe strain.

  6. 6

    How did Jordan respond to Syrian arrivals?

    Model answer

    Jordan opened the Zaatari camp in July 2012; it housed over 100,000 people at its peak in 2013 and around 80,000 in later years. The Jordan Compact of 2016 traded work permits for refugees against trade access and finance.
