Diane Kruger asks you to watch and share Syrian refugee Mahmoud's story, on World Refugee Day. Mahmoud was one of more than 300,000 Syrian refugees who have sought safety in Egypt since the conflict in his homeland began three years ago. The nine-year-old was so desperate to attend school that he risked his life to get to Europe. He was stopped and sent back to Egypt but is now making a fresh start in Sweden. --- Each day violence and insecurity forces thousands of families to flee their homes.
