"Talk to me so I know you are safe": Syrian refugees text home

"Talk to me so I know you are safe": Syrian refugees text home

Mother Jones — His face lit by the phone in his hand, a boy texts with family members in Homs, Syria, the site of some of the worst fighting in his country's three-year civil war. The teen was one of 100 or so refugees photographer Liam Maloney found living in an abandoned slaughterhouse in northern Lebanon. Maloney's "Texting Syria" project depicts the displaced Syrians and their texts with loved ones behind the frontlines.

Canadian Broadcasting Corporation — No Place like Home: Stories of Syrian Refugees In Exile Three years after the uprising in Syria, the country is in the midst of a war with no end in sight.

www.thenational.ae — April 6, 2014 The number of refugees who have fled war-torn Syria and registered in Lebanon reached the "devastating milestone" of one million last week, the UN said. Photographer Liam Maloney spoke to some of those who left their homes and sought refuge in the neighbouring country, documenting their plight and listening to their stories. Abu Abdel Rahman stirred slightly when I entered his room, and the sheet covering his amputated legs shifted enough for me to see what a 100mm tank round can do to the human body.

Guardian — This month Syria recorded yet another desperate statistic: UN aid agencies reported its millionth child refugee since the current conflict began. Most of these children are under 11. The UN warns that 10 million Syrians, or half the country's population, will need aid by the end of the year. Lebanon is currently home to the highest number of Syrian refugees, and around 300,000 of them are children. More than 2,000 children have crossed the border entirely alone, having become separated from their families. Three-year-old Khaled, and his 70-year-old grandfather, Abu Said, left their home this year after two missiles struck their neighbourhood in quick succession.

Canadian Broadcasting Corporation — While safe injection sites are not legal across the country, harm reduction health organizations are coming up with creative ways to get clean needles to the drug users who need them. In a feature documentary called The Grey Zone, we hear about one harm-reduction program that's been operating in Toronto for more than a decade providing a quarter of a million needles to drug dealers and users every year.

Vice — Toronto-based photographer Liam Maloney is no stranger to conflict. Over the last few years he's spent time documenting refugee life in the Middle East and East Africa, and observing the toll that conflicts in Somalia and Libya have taken on its people. For Remembrance Day, his new series (Latin for "through adversity") sees his focus turn from the difficult lives of civilians living through war to a series of portraits of WWII veterans of the Royal Canadian Air Force, complimented by quotes about who they will be remembering on November 11. We called him up to discuss his project.
