    I would classify this article as the news value impact because this story is about the effect overcrowded camps and war have on Afghans and Syrians. Afghans and Syrians are both fighting for a place of refuge, because as refugees they were forced by the event of war to migrate else where. This is what the article is about and why it is impactful.
