Well if people choose to participate in gang warfare and destroy the place that's supposed to provide temporary accommodation hell mend the stupid bastards.
It's the kids a feel sorry for.

Some of these children are not even old enough to walk never mind adopt or entertain fundamentalist ideologies
So my initial response to such has to be do you have kids of your own?
If yes then you should darn well know better!
Hopefully your own children will never be placed in such an environment and/or experience the atrocity these children do on a daily basis.
If no then may i suggest developing a little compassion at least for the children who's only crime was to be born into the world.

That's a given.
However if our own western nations and Russia were not hell bent on the removal of all the oil(or other resources) in those war trodden country's. And the militias or fundamentalist movements were not armed to the teeth by weapons we have sold or given them, you have to ask yourself would they really be in the state that they currently experience or would there people be on our doorsteps in the numbers they current are?
Fact of the matter is that as long as we choose to fight proxy wars in there nations these political refugees will keep on coming.

I'm not blaming the buyers LadyGreenEyes, i'm blaming the bankers, corporations, and military industrial complex that orchestrate these proxy conflicts from behind the unseen curtain and profit from the sale of arms, resources and misery.
It's not about nations anymore, it's simply about the money.
The real parasites are the ones that profit from other peoples misery.
