At the time of (displacement and complete shelling), the current hour timings for the people of Sere Kaniye / Ras al-Ain. For the displaced ones and non-displaced, that after stopping the normal clocks in front of their eyes, A forced escape, from the bombing of the Turkish aggression on the city.
Fatima (8 years) remembers her pink bed, which her father bought for her, after she collected her price from cash gifts on her eighth birthday.
The mother tries to persuade Fatima to sleep, early before the night. This is not the usual date for sleeping, but the mother extremely wants to make her daughter forget that the family displaced from their city Sere Kaniye / Ras al-Ain, towards Qamishlo /Al Qamishli, and that they live in a shelter in a school in Qamishlo.
The walls of the place are cold on the family, the place is changing, there is no wall like the wall of the house, ” says Umm Fatima, who tries to hide her sadness and shyness behind her pride.“I try hard to convince my children, and myself, but this is very difficult, ” she says.
“Umm Fatima” thinks of “Hammoud”, a cousin of Fatima, a young man (25) years old, pampered by the family and Fatima close to him, says that he is missing “We thought that he had preceded to Tel Temir during the displacement, but after everyone arrived there turned out That Hammoud is missing. ”
The moment Fatima asks about her bed, the mother silences her and tells her, “The family is now looking for Hammoud and you are thinking about your bed.”
Fatima’s dream is to go back and sleep on her bed. She is not aware of the cruelty of life written to her. She cannot realize her fault and the guilt of children who are forced to live in a shelter in a school, far from their hometown because of the Turkish aggression.
They are the first nights that Fatima sleeps outside the house, away from her city and her school. The mother says. “Thank God we got out alive to escape the horrific bombing.”
Fatima’s innocence drives her to ask about her cousin Hammoud while her mother still convinces her to sleep early. “Mother I think Hammoud in the bakery I told him to buy bread for us (Is he still there)?” Fatima says. “Fatoum (a euphemism for Fatima’s name),” the father replied. “Bakeries don’t work under the bombardment. No one is left in the city to buy bread. It’s better for you to sleep my daughter today was very exhausting.”
The Mother of Fatima says that living two days in a shelter inside the walls of a school in a classroom, it is difficult to be able to stay a healthy mind in it, “Fatima tells me to call (Hammoud) to bring her toy, she is a child who realizes from this life nothing, how will she get used to this circumstances!”.
She adds that Fatima’s longing for the game, came after talking about the bombing that kills people, she fears for her game because she also believes that the game (had been killed in the bombing).
The war in Syria has left staggering numbers of damage to children, the most affected segment.
