This Syrian refugee family fled their home in Aleppo in 2012. When bombing struck their town, ‘within 24 hours the city was destroyed,’ Ahmad recalls. They fled to Lebanon, where they shared a small flat with Ahmad’s three siblings and their children. Ahmad was able to find some work from time to time, but knew his future was bleak, especially as his 6-year-
old son Abdullah had developed hearing problems. The family was eventually accepted to resettle in Germany under the government’s Humanitarian Assistance programme. They travelled to Germany in September 2013 and were among the first group of Syrians to arrive in the country under this programme.
