Turkey/ Syrian Refugees/ A month ago, Sonia (name changed), 4, left her home near Idlib after heavy shelling of the town intensified. She left with her parents and four other siblings, including an 18 month old baby. .Her mother explains, "we couldn't stand it anymore. They were hitting everything - houses, schools, mosques. It would start from 7 o'clock in the morning, all the way into the night. On this particular day, military tanks arrived at 9 o'clock. They were screaming, shouting. We just wanted to leave the house. Now whenever my children hear a loud sound, they become frightened.".UNHCR/ A.Branthwaite/ September 2012
