Prof: Best Ways To Help Syrian Refugees
The international community is reeling today from images of a three-year-old boy’s body washed ashore in Turkey, a casualty of the refugee crisis in the Middle East. Texas A&M Professor Andrew Natsios, director of the Scowcroft Institute of International Affairs at the Bush School and a former USAID administrator, says Americans can help the four million Syrian refugees in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt.
Natsios recommends donating to any one of the InterAction crisis response organizations; InterAction is a U.S. NGO (nongovernmental organization) Consortium.
The list includes CARE, Mercy Corps and Save the Children.
