"I am still the same nice girl" - Syrian Wafaa is scarred but not broken
UNHCR HK聯合國難民署
Description
When a shell struck her family’s home in Aleppo, Syria, eight-year old Wafaa was standing next to the gas cylinder. As a result she was severely burned and scarred over most of her body. She remembers the incident clearly, and hopes that one days she can have surgery to improve her appearance. The family now live in a temporary shelter for displaced Syrians on the outskirts of Aleppo.
