| Azra
"In the refugee camp we didn’t have pillows. We didn’t have clothes. Nothing. Sleep on the floor in a school. Had some rice twice a day. That’s all. They started bringing some more food. But you know always is some local people who tried to steal [our] food and then tried to sell that food to make some money. I did started fight with those people. It was so dangerous, but I couldn’t stand that. It’s not just for my children, for others too. I mean, you see them, they crying, they asking for food and mother can’t help."
