Germany has been trying to lead the European Union (EU) countries’response, and in September !"# announced that more than $% billion would be spent toaid the refugees. &he money was used to find houses for '!!,!!! refugees who hope tosettle in Germany.

&his number only represents a fraction of the refugees who have fled Syria and other parts of the iddle East in the last few years. any are escaping from the ongoing Syriancivil war, a conf ict ! made even worse by the in"o "e#ent 5 of the slamic State ( S).

illions of people have lost their homes and family members in the fighting. &herefugees are see*ing new lives in Europe, and have traveled north through &ur*ey andother countries, in such o"erwhe #ing $ numbers that the EU finds it almost impossible

to resolve the crisis.+oth ustria and -ungary have closed their %orders &to stop people from entering,while taly and Greece are struggling to deal with boatloads of refugees from Syria and

frica. oreover, Germany itself has been forced to set a i#it on ' the number of peopleit can accommodate, and has urged other EU countries to do their part. &his has met withopposition, not only from other countries, but also from political groups within Germanywho don’t want to let the refugees in.

&he various governments also have to manage conflicts between their own citi ensand the refugees. any local people fear that they will lose their /obs, or that governmentmoney will be spent on foreigners’ needs instead of locals’. 0thers are concerned aboutthe slamisation of Europe. &he Syrian refugee crisis is a se"ere ( global challenge, one
