A brutal civil war has devastated scores of cities and towns. More than seven million people have fled their homes but remain within Syria. Four million Syrian refugees reside in neighboring countries; a million more have streamed across Greece and the Balkans toward hoped-for asylum in Western Europe.The crisis shows no signs of abating in 2016. More than 300 people have drowned attempting the water crossing from Turkey to Greece. And tens of thousands of desperate Syrians have massed at the Turkish border, following renewed fighting in Aleppo, Syria’s largest city. Government troops, emboldened by recent victories, threaten to cut off insurgent supply lines to the city.
