Aya lost part of her hand playing next to farm machinery

“Our patient Aya, who is as old as the Syrian Crisis, has known no life other than that of a refugee in Lebanon. She lives with her family of eight in al-Qaa, a town on the northeastern Lebanese-Syrian border. While playing in the farm her family lives on, she severely injured her hand in one of the grass-cutting machines." #onassignment #syriacrisis #syrianchildren © Stephen Gerard Kelly, ICRC

I want better opportunities for my children."
