Watch: Europe's refugee crisis and Syria situation explained
The video explains why Syria is reeling under civil war and what Europe's refugee crisis is all about.
An info-graphic video by youtube.com channel 'In a Nutshell - Kruzgesagt' very succinctly explains why Syria is reeling under civil war and what Europe's refugee crisis is all about.
The video begins by explaining why Europe is experiencing the highest influx of migrants since 1945, the Second World War. From the al-Assad rule to the atrocities of the Islamic State, the video tries to put the modern history of Syria simplistically down to the current state of the middle east.
It goes on to provide some important statistics about the Syrian population where over 4 million have fled the country and over a million have been killed. It summarises the crisis, the unpreparedness of the UN and the dilemma European Nations are facing in a brief and comprehensible video.
