The lack of prospect for stability in the Middle East that has been plaguing the region has un-doubtedly created unprecedented humanitarian crises resulting in millions of people being up-rooted from their own homeland. Refugee breakouts took place in the Middle East in different point of times in history. Colonial occupations, pervasive poverty, political violence and repression as well as ethnic violence have been the primary factors responsible for this instability that led to fragile political transition in the region. This paper tries to shed light on the most pressing issue that the world currently is witnessing e.g. refugee and Syrian conflict. Half of the 23 million population of Syria have been forced from their homes, with four million becoming refugees in other countries. The 4th year of Syrian conflict, a protracted crisis, has shaped a new pattern of refugee flows.
