Paper Title
The Case of Displaced Syrians in Saudi Arabia
Abstract
As a comprehensive program, the Saudi approach to reception and accommodation of displaced populations has demonstrated a wide area of coverage, flexibility, and adaptability in the wake of external crises. At its core, the approach covers legal status, education, healthcare, employment and societal integration. In terms of social integration, interviews and subsequent topic modeling were done with displaced Syrians in KSA with five themes emerging sense of displacement, family, uncertainty, legal status regulation and education for children. Overall, the Saudi approach to acceptance and accommodation of displaced Syrians demonstrates stark contrast from other countries and exhibits a high level of flexibility towards the displaced population.
