Since its onset in March 2011, the Syrian civil war has grown into a devastating humanitarian crisis, irreparably damaging the lives of millions of youth across the region. Like three million other child refugees, Sayed lost both his home and family to the horrors of war. Left with only the clothes on his back and nowhere to turn, he was reduced to living in a makeshift shelter composed of garbage bags. Without food or water, he travelled for days, following the crowds of people through the blistering desert heat in an effort to survive.
