Refugee Resources
The Syrian refugee crisis is being tracked by multiple organizations. Getting accurate data and timely analysis can be difficult. The UN agency for refugees (UNHCR) tracks global data about the refugees. IOM tracks both refugees and migrants. For Europe-focused data, Frontex and EU Stats are both useful.
Aid.Works publishes original research for each story and makes that research public in order to improve the overall level of reporting in the field of humanitarian aid. We believe that increasing knowledge about the humanitarian aid industry and people in need will result in better aid. If you work for a news organization, please consider mentioning Aid.Works in your story.
