The Syrian people (Arabic: الشعب السوري / ALA-LC: al-sha‘ab al-Sūrī; Syriac: ܣܘܪܝܝܢ) are the inhabitants of Syria, and their ancestors who share a common Levantine Semitic ancestry. The term also refers to the citizens of Syria, regardless of ancestry, mother tongue, ethnic identity, or culture.
The cultural and linguistic heritage of the Syrian people is a blend of both indigenous elements and the foreign cultures that have come to rule the land and its people over the course of thousands of years.
The Syrian republic has a population of nearly 17 million as of 2014, in addition to 4 million Syrian refugees. The dominant racial group is the Syrian descendants of the old indigenous peoples who mixed with Arabs and identify themselves as such in addition to ethnic Aramean. The country also includes the following ethnic minorities: Armenians, Assyrians, Circassians, Greeks, Kurds, and Turkmens.
The Syrian diaspora consists of 15 million people of Syrian ancestry, who emigrated to North America (United States and Canada), European Union member states (including Sweden, France and Germany), South America (mainly in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Venezuela and Colombia), Australia, and Africa.

Many of the Syrians who have fled across the border to Lebanon are trying to make a living there, while the conflict goes on at home. But that is creating tension, with a recent poll finding that 80 percent of Lebanese believe Syrians are stealing their jobs. Now the Lebanese government has started a campaign to crack down on Syrian business owners. Nisreen El-Shamayleh has more details from Lebanon's Bekaa Valley.
People in the besieged Syrian town of Madaya are eating "tree leaves" to survive, an activist has told the BBC. Speaking under gunfire, he said that there was "no food" there. On Thursday, the Syrian authorities reached a deal to allow UN officials to deliver aid to the town's starving citizens. James Reynolds reports.

Al Fuheis is now home to more than four thousand Syrian refugee families. The Sabras have been living in this small, mainly Christian town outside Amman for the past year. They first fled Qatana in Rif Dimashq for the mountainous village of Maloula. Violence seemed to follow them wherever they went. So they finally packed up and fled their country. Joseph was working as an electrical engineer before the war started. In Jordan, he's been unable to find work. The family's nest egg has run out. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Joseph Sabra, Syrian refugee: "The financial, educational, and housing situation is very hard for us because we don't have any income. We've spent all of our savings. I have a daughter who should be in college but I can't pay her tuition let alone transportation, rent or other ...

we’re burning
destroying
our lives have become
tortured
and bothered by whats been going on
reaching and grabbing for dreams of returning
to have our dreams interupted by alarms
this is the end
we’ve gone away
we’re falling back to earth
return to earth
return to earth
and we’re running in circles again
we’re running in circles
and we’re running in circles again
thinking big but doing so small
if this is the way that we’re living
then why should we live at all?
my life is mine
i’m working towards not ever having to work
my life is mine
my life is mine
waking up to feel the pressure
this is what i’ve never wanted
close your eyes and sleep it all off
I’ve given up my dreams
for this so called life
which I’ll never be happy living in
this so called life
which I’ll never be happy living in
I’ll carry on
put on my tie and fake up my smile
I’ll carry on
so watch me fake it
I’d like for nothing more
then to live a day of peace
with no care in sight
just this life of mine
I’d like for nothing more
then to spit in your fucking face
with no care in mind
this is not a dream
this is not a dream
this is not a dream
this is cruel reality it’s everything it seems.
I’ve been a sinking ship
I’ve been a fucking wreck
Lie to me, tell me I matter
through the clouds we’ve crashed on down
