Since the upsurge of the conflict in Syria (March 2011), more than 2.1 million Syrians have fled their homes only to take refuge in bordering countries or within Syria itself. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), over 600,000 people have escaped to Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq.
Jamal and his 13 year old son sell vegetables on a roadside in Iraq. His family has been internally displaced twice. “I lost my business, my home and my health. My family’s needs are beyond my ability to cope,” says Jamal. He cannot remember the last time his family ate a decent meal.
