The night of July 15, 2016, must have been a horrible nightmare for the over 2.7 million Syrian refugees in Turkey. As difficult as their lives have often been, Turkey represented a safe haven with little fear of deportation—though the open door policy for new refugees from Syria has ended for now. There was also recent good news as the government enactednew rules on work permits while also calling for granting citizenship to some refugees. And although there are still over 400,000 working informally, often in tough conditions, health care has become available for free to those registered with the authorities. Schooling for Syrian children remains problematic with only half of the 900,000 children expected in schools by end 2016, but plans to cover them all by end 2017 have been underway.
