Can you imagine if you lived in New York City and woke up one morning to find that everyone had gone, you couldn't fail to notice something like that. However this isn't a plot line for the film 'I Am Legend' with you playing Will Smith's role, instead it's an disturbing visual observation of what it would be like if NYC was in Syria, a desolate, abandoned ruin of a city, devoid of it's inhabitants. Syria's neighboring countries have bore the brunt of the war in Syria's effects by taking in millions. But now, they can't keep up. In some of the poorest communities in the Middle East, the strain on resources has made life unbearable. Lebanon has welcomed 1,600,000 refugees, swelling its population by 36%. While at last count USA has accepted only about 300 Syrian refugees so far and the UK had only resettled 54. The statistics are shocking, but they don't tell the individual stories of those so personally affected. They don't tell Dalya's story - a mother of four who had to sell her asthma medication to pay rent. Or Khalida's story, another mother of four who was hit by a sniper and paralysed from the neck down. For them, every day is a fight for survival.
