Why Syrians do not flee to Gulf states

Re: Why Syrians do not flee to Gulf states

According to this guardian article the Saudis have claimed to have given residency to 100000 people, I don’t know what the exact number is 100000, 500000 or 2.5 million. According to my brother who lives in Saudia, there has been a significant influx of Yemenis in the kingdom though (who can be seen begging and sleeping in the streets).
