Syrian Refugee Crisis In Maps & Graphs

For those maps and graphs fans, VOX interprets the Syrian refugee crisis in four highly effective diagrams depicting such subjects as: the sheer volume and numbers of the refugees, how the countries around Syria are dealing with the crisis, the migration to Europe, and finally, how the devastation of war is affecting its people.

An example, “The dynamics of the Syrian civil war are particularly awful for civilians. As you can see in the above animated map, a collection of Thomas van Linge’s maps showing areas of control from March 2014 through September 2015, the borders have shifted frequently between multiple groups. This has meant that the front line has, at one point or another, come to many, many Syrian towns and neighborhoods.”
