The Syrian people started to migrate rapidly in 2011 after the war in Syria. 3.6 million Syrians refugees came to Turkey. Sudden population    increases were observed in the provinces and districts located at the border. Refugee camp was established for Syrians in Turkey, but these camps are insufficient in terms of human life.

​

REYHANLI

  Reyhanlı, a small border town in the province of Hatay, located on the southeast of Turkey. Reyhanlı is the main gate between the two countries. Thus, the town becomes the main entry point for the incoming surge of    refugees as the civil war escalates. With the arrival of refugees, various    problems began to occur in Reyhanlı. Lack of infrastructure, education, healthy, shelter and language main problems.
