The Middle East is a region that has been plagued by conflict and instability for decades. As a result, millions of people have been forced to flee their homes and seek refuge in other countries. The vast majority of these refugees are women and children, who are particularly vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. In this article, we will explore seven unsettling truths about Middle Eastern refugees.

1. They are often met with hostility and discrimination

Middle Eastern refugees are often met with hostility and discrimination in the countries they seek refuge in. They may be subjected to verbal and physical abuse, and they may be denied access to basic services such as housing, healthcare, and education. This hostility can make it very difficult for refugees to rebuild their lives and integrate into their new communities.
