has helped provide food and medical supply to refugees that enter Bangladesh on a daily basis.

​Pursuant to the need for finding a durable solution to the current refugee crisis in the world, there are many strategies that can be employed. This problem can be helped by voluntary repatriation. It involves building a strategy by which refugees may willing fully return to their homes of origin while considering their safety and dignity. (Azad et al, 28). This is done after ensuring that the danger/ circumstances that forced refugees to flee their homes has been eliminated or no longer exist. For example, African governments have provided military personnel under the umbrella of African Mission on Somalia (AMISON) to fight with Al-Shabaab militia group and stabilize Somalia. It is with the objective that once Somalia is declared safe, the Somali refugees currently residing in Kenya may return to their homes willing fully and with dignity. Kenya is considered a very generous nation as it hosts the largest refugee camp in the world.

​Another Strategy to conquer escalating refugee crisis is by Local integration. It entails an arrangement where the country that plays host to refugees may decide to provide legal residency. This is done with the possibility of future eventual citizenship. It has been applicable in Germany where some Syrian refugees that plunged into the country were locally integrated. This helped reduce the number of labeled refugees hence quelling the crisis. The number of refugees a country hosts may reduce when such strategy is employed. It also reduces spending on sustenance of refugees as they become free to get jobs in hos countries after integration

​Resettlement is described as permanent movement of refugees to a third party country which did not play initial host (Azad et al, .29).This is mostly applicable for refugees whose life, property, health or liberty are at risk in the host country. It can also be a procedure to share refugee burdens amongst states. It is a good strategy of concurring refugee crisis in the world today. The core drive for resettlement is for security and general well-being of refugees.

​In conclusion, it is deduced that refugee crisis remains a severe social problem in the world today. Civil wars continues to escalate presenting uncertainty of what the future holds for refugees. Interventions by international community and governments sometimes faces a hurdle especially in countries that do not cooperate. It is important to intensify problem solving techniques, encourage dialogue so the world may be peaceful for a better future.
