Syria
Civil war has been raging in Syria for years. What remains are destroyed cities, homeless people and great misery. Everything is lacking; a normal life is unthinkable. Nevertheless, thousands of displaced people have returned, finding shelter in tents and ruins. More than 11 million people in Syria depend on humanitarian aid - that is more than half of the entire population.

UNCERTAIN FUTURE
