Day Two | Syrian Crisis: We are given a tour of Karame camp by its administrator Usama Hajj Hassan .The camp houses 4,500-5,000 families in 470 tents.

In the whole camp there is only one shower and toilet facility on the far corner and is shared by everyone.” Usama further explains that overcrowding and lack of sanitation in the camp has caused  a lot of illness to the kids.

Day Two | Syrian Crisis: Our journey took us to city of Idlib to a school used as a makeshift shelter for families from conflict ruined areas of Syria. Kids can be soo much fun, despite the difficult situation they’re in, we’ve met very playful kids, who laughed and shook hands with us. But deep down we know that this conflict has a dramatic effect on them as they recall the harrowing stories from the places they have fled from. All they speak of is the distruction caused by the missiles that reigned on their homes and schools. The implications of life as an internally displaced children is surely great, with children missing out on their education. They have a lot of time on their hands living in confined and basic shelter.

Day Two | Syrian Crisis: Scott McPherson of Al Muntada Trust hands over a food pack to the family of Muhammad Jalmond from Hama. He invites us to his modest home of two rooms which he shares with eight members of his family in Bab Al Hawa. Like most families, Muhammad lost his day job as an administrator in the local government and left everything behind.  Syrians are proud people and bear their current situation with dignity and a vision of a better future.

Day Two | Syrian Crisis: Today we made our way across the Turkish border and into Syria to deliver some aid to families affected by the conflict. As we feared the scenes we have witnessed are that which is familiar to most of us outside Syria. Scenes of conflict and displacement.  Our first stop was at the wear-house where our emergency supply packs are stored. We help load more than 50 food and baby packs on to our van to distribute it to nearby families who have fled from frontline towns for fear of their lives.  Top Picture: Sayid Aden Ali (left) and Scott McPherson (right)
