I mean, the alphabet gets a little confusing at the beginning because you're not used to seeing dots everywhere so everything looks kind of the same at the beginning, but I don't think it's any easier or harder than the kanas, really!
If you want to get to a level where you can converse with refugees, go with Levantine Arabic, not MSA. Most people will understand MSA if they've been schooled, but they can't always reply back in it, and you don't want to be in a situation where you can't understand them if they reply in dialectal Arabic.
At the moment the crisis mostly affects the Levant, and especially Syria (obviously), and there's good resources for that dialect. My favourite textbook was Syrian Colloquial Arabic, which my teacher used when I lived there and had to study the dialect. It's an investment but it's very well-made and relevant. You can also find Colloquial Levantine Arabic, and there's also a grammar book available, and a dictionary and you'll also find vocabulary books such as this one. From Syrian, you'll get Lebanese Arabic very easily (it's like American VS British English), Jordanian and Palestinian (a little less easily). Iraqi is a different one altogether, but would be worth considering if you want to get involved in helping refugees.
