Topic 1: Refugees and the impact of covid-19
As the COVID-19 pandemic took the world by storm, one of the biggest refugee crises is currently affecting millions worldwide. The pandemic has exacerbated the monetary, mental, and educational rights of refugees. Not only has this put pressure on the people but the governments as well, causing clashes when it comes to political opinion, a member of a political group, etc. Causing a rise in refugees in the years 2020-2021. Understanding how COVID-19 contributed to these mishaps on both a social and political level is key to solving this crisis.
Topic 2: Refugee crisis in the middle east
Conflicts have become a hallmark of the Middle East, forcing millions of individuals out of their homes. Of the 60 million displaced people worldwide, almost 40% of them originate from the middle east. Recent conflicts across the Middle East, including in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen, have triggered an additional mass displacement of people, with millions fleeing violence and instability. It has been out of control and we have yet to find a feasible solution.
