Dubai, being Dubai.

“Let the dead go first, then maybe one day the living can go.” Syrians sending the bodies of their loved ones across the border to their waiting relatives. Turkish authorities have allowed only the dead - not the living - to cross into Syria to be buried. Story in bio.

An Arabic workbook belonging to a Syrian child who was still trapped under the rubble. Attempted rescue operations just moments before a new body was pulled out. A Syrian man examines the body of his brother’s grandchild. Salah Al-Naasan, who lost his daughter-in-law and three grandchildren - including the one seen in the previous photo, the one pulled out of the rubble in the earlier video, and the unborn child of his pregnant, lifeless daughter-in-law. He is crying out to see if the unborn child can somehow be saved. On both sides of the border, Syrians suffer.
