Este é um post sério. Este é um post necessário. Este é um post chocante.

Walaa, 5, wants to go home. She had her own room in Aleppo, she tells us. There, she never used to cry at bedtime. Here, in the refugee camp, she cries every night. Resting her head on the pillow is horrible, she says, because nighttime is horrible. That was when the attacks happened. By day, Walaa’s mother often builds a little house out of pillows, to teach her that they are nothing to be afraid of. // link to full article in my bio

No último ano, mais de 4 milhões de pessoas fugiram da guerra na Síria, entre elas, mais de um milhão de crianças com menos de 12 anos.

Fugir d’uma vida em que o medo está sempre presente, em que o dia-a-dia é aterrorizado por uma destruição constante. Não acredito que haja uma única pessoa, na Síria, que não tenha já perdido uma mãe, um pai, um irmão, um marido ou mulher… Um filho. Não consigo imaginar o sofrimento, não tenho palavras.

Magnus Wennman viajou pela Europa e Médio Oriente, e fotografou as crianças refugiadas. O resultado está à vista – fotografias fortes, chocantes, que no meu caso trazem lágrimas aos olhos. Estas pessoas fugiram à guerra, mas não acho que as suas condições tenham melhorado significativamente.

É preciso mais!!

Publico estas fotos porque acho que é importante confrontarmo-nos com estas realidades, para que possamos não só dar valor àquilo que temos, mas também (hopefully) dar o nosso contributo. Seja através de uma doação às 1001 instituições que apoiam os refugiados, seja através de uma partilha nas redes sociais. É importante termos consciência.

Mohammed, 13, loves houses. Back home, in Aleppo, he used to enjoy walking around the city looking at them. Now, many of his favourite buildings are gone, blown to pieces. Lying in his hospital bed, he wonders whether he will ever fulfill his dream of becoming an architect. “The strangest thing about war is that you get used to feeling scared. I wouldn’t have believed that,” says Mohammed. // link to full article in my bio.

Fara, 2, loves football. Her father tries to make footballs of all the material he could find. Every night when he says good night to Fara, and her older sister Tisam, 9, he hopes that they will wake up to a new day when they will get a real football to play with. All other dreams feels unattainable for him.

Together with their father, they have slept on the sidewalk for a year. They are always close to each other. Rahaf says she is afraid of “bad boys”. When she says it Ralia starts to cry.
