Compartir con.. Leila Alaoui - Natreen (We are waiting)

Lebanon, November 2013 - Two years into the Syrian crisis, the statistics on displacement are familiar to many. But the stories behind the numbers aren’t. Photographer Leila Alaoui toured Lebanon to meet the men, women, and children of the crisis. The outcome was a collection of portraits, showing personal stories of displacement.

  

This project was commissioned by the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) in Lebanon and the European Commission (ECHO).
