In March 2011, what started as a series of protests against the Syrian regime, escalated into an armed conflict that has been going on for over 8 years. Few months after that hundreds of thousands of refugees fled Syria and tried to find refuge in neighbouring countries. In Lebanon alone, over a million Syrian refugees crossed the border looking for safety, and settled in tents, collective shelters and apartments all over Lebanon. Since 2011, Dalia Khamissy have traveled across the Lebanon, assigned by different NGOS, newspapers and magazines, to document the different stories of Syrian refugees. They all fled the bombings, killings, kidnapping… Some were severely injured or have lost family members while others have missing loved ones or were under the threat of being kidnapped themselves\u2026 In Lebanon they were faced with another difficult reality. As they recounted their stories the majority dreamed of the end of the war, and of their return.<\/span>
