In this article I learned that there is a civil war in Syria, and that it has been going on for most of this year. I also learned that the number of Syrians retreating into neighboring countries for safety and aid is likely to exceed 700,000 by the end of the year, according to the United Nations and humanitarian agencies who are trying to keep up with the large increase in numbers of refugees recently. According to this article, many of the surrounding countries are having to set up many camps to hold these people, and they're trying to raise $488 million dollars as a national relief fund for the trouble and money loss casued to the countries these refugees have fled to.

There's lots of good information in this article! I knew that Syria is having a civil war, but I didn't know that "the number of Syrians retreating into neighboring countries for safety and aid is likely to exceed 700,000 by the end of the year"! Overall I think this post has good quality information and very well spelled.
