These Haunting Image Show The Disastrous Life Syrian Kids Live In Refuge Camps

By now the news about the crisis in Syria has become an everyday affair. Yet even everyday affairs like food, shelter and sanitation are a rare delicacy for the Syrian migrants who are taking refuge at the borders of many European nations.

Thousands of refugees are counting days at the Hungarian border desperately waiting for the borders to open so that they can pass through Hungary and reach Germany. At the border gates, people keep shouting “open the doors” and children wail while living in conditions so bad that they can bring even the coldest heart to tears.

Photojournalist Magnus Wennman met numerous migrants in refugee camps making their journeys through Europe and he photographed the conditions they live in. In his photo series ‘Where the children sleep,’ he has clicked many children sleeping in the worst conditions possible.

2. Mahdi, 1.5 years old has already experienced tear gas, water cannons and fights

 

3. Abdul Karim, 17 years old is away from his family in Syria as he was the only one who could flee

 

4. Ahmad, 7 years old was hit by a shrapnel on his head. He has been sleeping on the roads for last month now
