Cristina Sacramento a volunteer surgeon from Spain, talks to Desalegw Simsam, nine years old, before he is taken for his spinal operation.

Omar is the sole breadwinner of his family of six. After he was forced to flee Syria and arrived in Turkey, he learned the language very quickly and started selling cheese and olives at the local market. His situation was gradually improving, until the coronavirus pandemic started.
“I had to stay at home for days and was working much less than usual, and especially on Saturdays and Sundays, when people would normally go to the market. It affected us financially,” Omar says.
