Five-year old Dylan lived her whole life in conflict and danger. She was the same age as Syria’s civil war. When her family tried to flee and find safety in Europe, her two siblings drowned in the Aegean Sea. Her father, Emad Hamdy, was able to save his young daughter. Unable to reach the safety of Europe, together they returned to Qamishli and to war where, yesterday, Dylan was killed in the twin bombing.

Berivan Saeed, grew up an orphan; her husband was also killed. She and her son were killed on Wednesday, leaving her little daughter, Sewi, alone, an orphan just as her mother had been.
