Hong Kong,, July 16, 2025 / Prnewswire / – With shells approaching and only minutes to escape, what would you save? “I was forced to leave everything behind me – my toys, my clothes, all the things I loved,” said 8 -year -old Syrian Amal. In the severe winter of 2024, she and her family walked for two days to flee the conflict, wearing only thin clothes on her back. Food, water, shelter and even a feeling of safety have all been left reluctant.
A tent for a house: a child rewritten by war
In 2018, the war first forced Amal from her home, moving her in a camp in Northeast of Syria. In December 2024While the conflict intensified once again, she and her family were forced to flee at night. “The road was filled with the sounds of explosions and rugging planes. I saw children to death in the desert … We could only desperately advance,” recalls Amal’s father, Hasan. Describing the two-day trek in the bitter cold, “he said,” The children suffered enormously. They continued to cry, begging to go home, but we couldn’t do anything. We abandoned all our goods just to save our lives. ” Always shaken, we remembered: “We were also terrified, but for the good of our children, we had to stay strong.”
From December 2024climbing conflict Syria has moved more than 15,000 families. This is the third time that Ama has been moved during his eight short years; His “house” has shrunk to a tent that could disappear at any time. What Mal has left behind was more than just a house – it was his childhood. She is missing the house with apples and oranges, and the friends with whom she played hide and seek every day. Now all of this is out of reach. Despite this, Amal has a dream, “one day, I want to become a doctor and help children when they are sick.” The war stolen what should have been an carefree childhood – no school, no peaceful nights, not even a predictable tomorrow.
