I should underline that the number of refugees (220.000) arrived in Europe by boat last year was a record. The number of refugees increased in the recent years up to (900.000) people. According to statistics compiled by UN most of refugees are Syrian. This movement is because of Syrian civil war. The people encounter the unstoppable war so, the only way out the situation is to move to the countries with better life condition. The most preferable countries are Greece, Italy, Spain, Bulgaria, and Malta so on.

According to the UN refugee agency report wars and persecutions are the essential reasons of refugee crisis in 2015. Every 25 per minute have been obliged to be displaced from the homes in 2015 Human rights violationsPeople are suffering from corruption by those who occupied political positions in some countries such as Uganda, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, South Sudan, Sudan, Eritrea are the top of the most corrupt countries in the whole world. The citizens are suffering by those in power who are grabbing their property. Almost all the resources are in hand of those few persons in political positions.

They are miserable, desperate and concerned about their future.High costs of livingRefugees arrived in Lebanon hesitate whether to stay or go due to high cost of living factor. Egypt refugees cite that they cannot afford themselves to pay for rent and basic needs.
Inability to provide for one’s family is the most common reason for the refugees left Jordan.Limited livelihood opportunitiesThe lack of access to the labor market was one of problems for refugees relocated in Lebanon, Egypt and Jordan. The influx of Syrian refugees made a great competition for jobs in these areas.
The jobs in construction sphere is more popular due to drop of oil prices. Feeling unsafe The great deal of Iraqis have reported to UNHCR that they are feeling unsafe while their being in country. The population see the migration as the key for release from unsafety environment.
