As a pertinent issue that disrupts the social psyche, discussions on refugee crisis are apposite in the contemporary society. Though the problem is broached very often by activists and thinkers, the urgency of the issue is seldom palpable to the public. In order to understand the horrors of destitution, it is necessary to look closer into their lives. This paper analyses lives in the refugee camps as represented in Joe Sacco’s documentary graphic novel Journalism and Kate Evan’s Threads From The Refugee Crisis, and how these artists juxtaposes bleak living conditions in refugee camps and popular contempt and suspicion toward the pouring refugees to accentuate the necessity of serious deliberations for an ethical resolve. The article borrows from Giorgio Agamben’s concepts on refugee crisis and human rights to establish the inevitability of dilating laws to frame more inclusive ones to make room for the unfortunates.
