Questions about the real life of Syrian refugees? Join the chat

Who are the Syrian refugees? Chat with NBC News correspondent Keir Simmons on Thursday at 1 p.m. ET with #msnbcchat.

We don’t hear often about that other crisis currently taking place in Syria. The headlines mostly focus on the brutal acts of ISIS, the terror group sweeping the region, not the country’s brutal civil war that has taken an estimated 200,000 lives. The conflict forced a staggering 10 million people -- nearly half of Syria’s population – to flee from their homes. And many of them are children.

NBC News correspondent Keir Simmons has spent nine months following families impacted by this humanitarian crisis. Now he’s taking your questions.
