There are now over 50 million refugees worldwide, the most since WWII, and the international community should help refugees by providing opportunities, shelter, and resettlement assistance. Research shows that giving refugees cash through ATM cards for basic needs like food and water is an effective form of aid. As winter approaches, aid agencies are working to convert unfinished homes into temporary shelters to house Syrian refugees living in tents in Lebanon. The agencies aim to resettle refugees in more permanent housing going forward.
