Mohammed Al-Aqad and his children look at their war-damaged apartment at the Yarmouk camp in Damascus, Syria, June 19, 2024. Al-Aqad was born into a legacy of displacement. His family originally hailed from Khan Younis in Gaza, but like many Palestinians in 1948, they were forced to leave their homeland and sought refuge in Syria.
Settling in the Yarmouk camp south of Damascus, the Al-Aqad family managed to create a semblance of stability throughout the years and owned their own apartment building in Yarmouk.
Like in most areas across Syria, the outbreak of the Syrian war in 2011 brought chaos and destruction to the Yarmouk Camp.
Since 2012, Al-Aqad's family has moved multiple times, seeking safety and stability.
Today, Al-Aqad lives with his wife and four children in a cramped, rented house in Jaramana camp. (Photo by Ammar Safarjalani/Xinhua)
