Turkey: Making a Life in Izmir

The vast majority of the 2.75 million Syrian refugees in Turkey live in cities and towns. For many, exile is now counted in years. For almost all, life is difficult – with only seasonal work and little knowledge of Turkish. But in the bigger cities there is help, and advice from the Association for Solidarity with Asylum-Seekers and Migrants (ASAM), a Turkish NGO which works with UNHCR.
