On January 24, 2022, in the cold weather of Idlib, Syria, a father stood by the side of a sleeping child.
Parents in the same camp braved the harsh winter to stay awake at night to make sure their children didn't freeze to death. Hundreds of tents in the idlib camp on the Turkish-Syrian border were recently destroyed by heavy snow.
People pick up plastic and cardboard in the ruins during the day and light campfires to keep warm at night. One refugee said: "Now we don't have stoves or tents to keep warm. ”
Another blind refugee said: "I can't work, my wife works in the fields and earns 7 Turkish liras ($0.50) a day, all I want is a house and a stove to keep my son warm. ”
