They fled to Lebanon where they have been living in a tent in the Hosh Al-Hareem camp for the past 10-years. Ahmed’s mother Umm Marwan stayed behind in Syria due to a heart condition that stopped her from travelling. While living in Lebanon, Ahmed and his wife had four more children that were born in Lebanon and have never meet their grandmother, other relatives or seen the family home.
