Still posting those chain emails from rightwing blogs?
Hundreds of outlets have claimed that Saudi Arabia has taken zero refugees--a ludicrous, but rarely fact-checked statement.
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE are not parties to any of the UN protocols on refugees, and so through this technicality, they, along with most of their refugees, are excluded from many refugee counting mechanisms.
Syrians residing in Saudi Arabia are classified as "Arab brothers and sisters in distress" instead of refugees covered by UN treaties.
The government of Saudi Arabia has stated that it has, over the past five years since the start of the conflict, hosted 2.5 million refugees.
Al-Arabiya, a news outlet based in the UAE, has noted that "Saudi authorities granted Syrians the right of residency and work, and provided them with education and health services for free."
Over 100,000 children are currently receiving education in the country's schools.
Saudi Arabia is not alone in attempts to provide education for the refugees, with Lebanon now providing schooling for another 100,000 child refugees.
The US's pitiful responses cannot be excused by this lie.
