So far in my book, Haris has met Amir and Daphne. Daphne works in the hospital and Haris helps her out at the hospital. In the hospital, all the Syrian patients are treated in the sweltering hot basement. They are not treated as well as citizens of Turkey. “ Disconnected from his trickling IV bags, he’d become wholly inanimate, Until his death, his life would be an issue of storage somewhere in the hospital.” This was when a Syrian man was taken off life support and basically killed. He was taking up space and they thought there was a slim chance of him recovering and even if he did his life would be miserable. They threw him into a room with other dead bodies while he was still technically alive.
Today Syrians are generally treated worse than Turkish citizens. Because Turkey is right next to Syria, hundreds of thousands of refugees are currently in Turkey. The Turkish government is doing its best to help the refugees financially but they are running out of funds and it is having an effect on the economy. European countries like Germany are only taking a specific number of refugees a year so Turkey and other neighboring countries are getting a lot. This is one reason why some people from Turkey may dislike Syrians. Also, because of the lack of money, some refugees have to scam or steel from other people to make ends meet. In my book, a refugee named Saied scammed Haris into coming to Syria to help fight. He robbed Harris and left him with nothing because he had to go to the hospital. That was the only way he knew how to make money.
