Buying an Island for Refugees?

Some Rich man offered to buy an island (one of the uninhabited Greek islands) for Middle Eastern refugees to live on. However, that sounds too much like a prison camp island. Buying an uninhabited island might sound good on the surface but how many of you want to live on an uninhabited island with a bunch of people with PTSD from the horrors they have witnessed first hand of relatives dying or being blown apart by Barrel bombs? So, putting several hundred thousand people with PTSD from horrific war experiences together sounds only to me like a whole lot of people potentially murdering and harming each other.

However, if these same people fan out around the world, the sanity of local populations not having been through a war time experience mostly for over 70 years or more might work better to reincorporate some of these people into a functional society once again
