DescriptionThis family had just arrived at Atmeh, a refugee camp that is divided into five sections, each with a leader who distributes food and supplies. Because most bombing occurs in the daytime, thousands of refugees leave the camp to return home at night when it is relatively safe. The camp can have fourteen thousand refugees during the day and only four thousand at night.
