People are fleeing Syria becaue the Syrian Civil War that has been going on for two years and claimed over 100,000 casualties is ratcheting up due to the use of chemical weapons. For the sake of their families, many want to leave the combat that has engulfed the whole country. As a minor addition, some also wish to escape potential American aggression.
