Four Years and Counting: Syrian Refugees in Limbo

14 Dec Four Years and Counting: Syrian Refugees in Limbo

Chouiefat, LEBANON: Amneh Moufalani, 7, runs down the hillside behind their basement apartment with three of her brothers. This was the first time the children had ventured outside since their father left them to attempt to migrate to Europe through a network of smugglers, seven months ago. Behind them is the sign for a well-known Lebanese school, La Cite. None of these children are currently attending school – the influx of refugees has left the education system overburdened and many refugees cannot afford the fees. Liam Maloney/Polaris Images
