Five questions by Elizabet Ferris regarding Syria crisis.
  1. How do we provide better assistance and protection to internally displaced persons?
  2. Who is thinking about the long-term future of refugees and IDPs in the region?
  3. What is the role of development actors in responding to countries and communities affected by the arrival of Syrian refugees?
  4. What do international funding appeals tell us about priorities and capacities?
  5. The Syrian crisis also raises the question: can anyone turn up and do humanitarian work?
