Due to wars in the Middle East, many individuals have had to migrate from their places of residence. Whatever the religion of an immigrant is, regardless of age, national identity, gender, reason for migration, level of education, cultural and social background, great turbulence arises in the inner world. On the one hand, in a foreign country or in the region, while on the other side the feeling of longing is somewhere in the individual. Individuals who have been forced to leave their homelands, their environment, their homes, their possessions, their friends for a long time, and find themselves in a different world. Being forced to have the safety of life from one side, struggling to survive is overwhelmed by the difficulties of staying between the other side and trying to adapt to the culture, social life and language of the country where it is sheltered. These heavy burdens also lead to a number of demolitions, psychological, social and bodily.
