Franklin Graham Writes Open Letter to Obama on Syria, Refugees

By Published on September 10, 2015

Evangelist Franklin Graham penned an open letter to President Barack Obama on Thursday, imploring the commander in chief to establish “safe zones” inside of Syria, as civil war continues to displace and endanger millions of citizens.

Graham, who is the president and CEO of international relief group Samaritan’s Purse, cited his four decades of experience in helping refugees in Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia and the Middle East, in asking for specialized zones that would help those fleeing the chaos.

 And he warned of what could happen if no action is taken.

“This would allow Syrians fleeing from areas of conflict inside the country to find safety, food, medicine, and shelter, and stay within their borders, nearer their homes, until a political and military settlement has been reached,” Graham wrote on his Facebook page. “Most refugees that I have worked with over the years desire to eventually return home.”
