🇸🇾 Syria
1 galleries
Syria is a country in the Middle East that has been embroiled in a devastating civil war since 2011. The conflict has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and has caused massive displacement and destruction.
As a photojournalist, I have covered the Syrian Civil War extensively, from May 2012 until the beginning of 2013. During my time reporting on the conflict, I witnessed firsthand the terrible atrocities committed by the Government in Damascus and various factions, as well as the tragic events that affected the lives of innocent civilians.
Although the experiences were often harrowing, I felt it was important to document the events and bring attention to the plight of those affected by the war. I will continue to report on the ongoing conflict and its impact on the people of Syria in the years to come.

12 galleriesViolence escalated and the country descended into civil war as rebel brigades were formed to battle government forces for control of cities, towns and the countryside. Fighting reached the capital Damascus and the second city of Aleppo in 2012. I entered the country illegally in May of 2012 following a refusal of the Syrian government to let me into Syria. The growing and ongoing conflict is a multi-sided civil war, fought in Syria, between the Syrian Arab Republic led by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and various domestic and foreign forces that oppose both the Syrian government and each other. The conflict began on 15 March 2011, with demonstrations that grew out of discontent with the Syrian government and escalated to an armed conflict after protests calling for Assad's removal were violently suppressed. After months of political and military battles, the protests turned into an armed rebellion.
