A report from Jordan on the Syrian child refugee crisis. Half of six million Syrian refugees – and of all refugees worldwide – are children. In spite of this, only 2% of all refugee funding goes to education. Sesame Workshop and the International Rescue Committee, a refugee non-profit founded by Albert Einstein, have partnered to develop a version of Sesame Street aimed directly at Syrian child refugees called “Ahlan Simsim.” The show focuses on emotions such as fear, loneliness, anger, and determination while teaching coping mechanisms. It will begin airing in February in 20 countries. Includes interviews with Laila Hussein, guide and I.R.C. Coordinator; David Miliband, head of the International Rescue Committee; Scott Cameron, “Ahlan Simsim” showrunner and Sesame Street producer; a family of Syrian refugees who live in a camp; and a family who live in a tent settlement outside the refugee camp.

A report on the rising number of migrants trying to reach Europe by dangerous boat trips across the Mediterranean Sea out of desperation to leave Syria, Eritrea and other Middle Eastern and North African countries controlled by dictatorships. Overcrowded boats leave from Libya and Turkey. Once the vessel is in proximity to Italy, a distress call is made to the Italian Coast Guard and they are rescued and brought back to Italy. Up to 2,000 migrants have died this year, including the estimated 800 who perished last week when a boat capsized and sank. Traffickers have also been taking advantage of the situation by charging exorbitant fees. Includes interviews with: Arturo Incerti, Italian Coast Guard Officer; Mulu Amale, migrant; Captain Leopoldo Manna, Italian Coast Guard; Federico Soda, regional director for the Mediterranean for the International Organization for Migration; and Ahmad Zaid al-Abdu and his wife Fatima, migrants (through translator).
