NONE. Kuwait has refused to accept any refugees and has a policy of forcibly deporting any refugees that come to its borders. However, the Kuwaiti government has extended indefinitely the current VISAs that roughly 120,000 Syrian Nationals living in Kuwait have. To clarify, these 120,000 Syrians are not refugees, but guest workers, most of whom arrived in Kuwait long before the Syrian Civil War and would have returned to Syria during this period but for the conflict and their VISAs being extended.

How many Syrian refugees are in the US?
There are about 1,869 Syrian refugees in the U.S. which makes 0.0006 of the population of Syrians.
How many Syrian refugees are moving to Iran?
NONE. Iran refuses to allow any Syrian refugees to come to the country. Iran's policy is particularly maddening since Iran is supporting Assad, who was responsible for starting the conflict back in 2011. Since Iran has a history of mistreating refugees (such as those coming from nearby Afghanistan), Syrians feel that they have better chance in Europe.
How many Syrian refugees are moving to Afghanistan?
NONE. There is really no reason for Syrian Refugees to go to Afghanistan. Afghanistan is not near to Syria and getting there would be nearly impossible given the physical location of Islamic State, the borders between Kurdistan and Turkey, and numerous other intervening countries. Afghans do not speak Arabic; they speak Dari, Pashto, Uzbek, and Turkmen. Afghanistan has no governmental infrastructure to take care of refugees. Afghanistan is embroiled in its own struggle with the Taliban that has resulted in its own refugee exodus. It is not even on their radar.

Yes there are many millions of refugees today in many parts of the world where there is conflict. You seriously need to watch the news or read the papers.

How are Syrian refugees traveling to Iraq?
Because of the Syrian Civil War and the high degree of civil unrest in Iraq, the borders are not well-patrolled. Therefore, the refugees are simply running/driving across the border. In some cases, they are smuggled across, but this is becoming less common. Additionally, many more refugees flee to Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan since those countries are much more stable.
What are the causes of the Syrian Refugee Crisis?
The massive amount of violence in Syria against civilians, perpetrated by the Assad Regime, Jubhat an-Nusra, and the Islamic State, which control the majority of Syria, have caused a large percentage of Syrians to flee the country. Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey have each taken 1.4 million, 1.9. million, and 2.3 million refugees, but all three have basically argued that they are strained and overtaxed by the refugees that they have taken in and cannot afford to take in anymore, resulting in them closing the borders or, in Turkey's case, turning a blind eye towards Europe-bound migration.As a result, vast numbers of Syrians are taking the long march to Germany and Scandinavia where favorable refugee policies are present and where they do not run the risk of dying unceremoniously as might happen in Syria. Additionally, because of European kindness with regards to refugees, a number of economic migrants are also using the more lenient standards applied to refugees as opposed to migrants to pretend to be Syrians in order to get asylum. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees has no exact statistics, but claims that a significant minority of the "Syrian Refugees" in Europe are Non-Syrian economic migrants, who should not benefit from the asylum procedures that migrants have to deal with, but are engaging in deceptive practices (such as burning their passports) in order to pretend to be Syrians.The reason that many Europeans and Americans are hesitant to settle the million-or-so "Syrian Refugees" comes from two main factors: (1) that the governments of the various countries have not done any serious work to tease out economic migrants from actual Syrian Refugees, who should receive help and sustenance, and (2) the political and religious views of the migrants, regardless of whether they are legitimate refugees or not could have serious consequences for the national identities of a number of European countries. As a result of this failure to settle the refugees and actually determine a course for them, the refugees have been stuck in limbo in numerous refugee camps.

There is a small number of Syrian Refugees who are going to Iraq, but this is usually a movement in transit.
