Answer+Explanation:

Ok so there's a civil war going on in Syria (a country in the Middle East). As you would probably imagine, people are fleeing Syria because of safety concerns or being pushed out due to the conflict. The refugees flee/fled to many countries but the most notable ones are Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon. The war is regarding the awful conditions that are in Syria, and there was also some outside pressure from neighboring countries to get Syria to get its act together. (there are more reasons but these are the ones that come to mind immediately)
