Do you know anything about the war in Syria? It started in 2011. Many people in Syria were worried about their safety, so they decided to run away from their own country. About 4,000,000 people left their homes in Syria and became refugees. They went a long way to other countries on foot or by boat. They tried to arrive at refugee camps, but they had trouble getting to one. The trip to other countries was not easy, so lots of people died along the way.
Abdallah is a 13-year-old boy from Syria. He is now staying in a refugee camp with his parents. Abdallah hopes to go back to his hometown, but they can’t. They need to keep waiting until the war is over. In an interview, Abdallah told a reporter about their hope. He hopes all his friends and relatives in Syria are fine. He also wants to play with his friends again at the playground. In his eyes, home is the best place to go back to.
