  2. International statistics: How many refugees are there in the world currently? Where are they located?
  3. How many refugees are there currently in the U.S. and what countries are they from?
  4. What organizations work with refugees in Arizona? What did Governor Ducey recently announce about refugees and Arizona?
  5. How many refugees are there in Tucson and where are they from? Are there any Syrian refugees in Tucson?
