We met Yahya in a camp for internally displaced people in April 2013. He lived in a tent with his family. Half a year later, he made it to Turkey, but he misses the motherland. Watch Part 1 here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpkLcO7nhYeRXCWyJo4i3KrVOwe6uygvL 

The Syrian crisis has forced over 2.2 million people to flee the country. In Turkey there are more than 600,000 refugees, according to the authorities. Most of them live outside the camps set up along the border. Yahya is living temporarily in Kahramanmaraş, a town in southern Turkey where he works as a construction worker, while his family are still staying in a refugee camp in Kilis, around 150 km away. 

Yahya has left behind war and destruction, but now the reality of being a refugee is emerging -- a scenario where his economic future is uncertain and a different language is spoken. In exile, Yahya has kept a rosary and a pair of trousers: the ones he was wearing when air strikes wiped out his neighbourhood while he was painting a door in his house in the outskirts of Aleppo, the main city in northern Syria.
