The Life of a Refugee
Leaving behind everything familiar, fleeing into the night full of fear, the refugee life is difficult to imagine. Consider entering a foreign land for refuge, being unable to work and treated like you’re not wanted, with no way to deal with the pain and loss you have experienced. This is the case for many Syrian refugees currently seeking asylum in Lebanon.
Children are often at the coalface of the long list of hardships facing Syrian refugees in Lebanon. If they are fortunate enough to have at least one parent alive they are often left locked up and unattended at home as their parents go searching for desperately needed food and supplies. Children, particularly in the case of orphans, are extremely vulnerable to being kidnapped and forced into child labour.
Unattended, uneducated, undernourished and underdeveloped; the situation for these children is dire.
