Nowhere People: The Refugees of Syria by Moises Saman

I remember photographing the first wave of Syrian refugees in early 2012. Under the cover of a cold winter night, a young couple held tightly to their baby girl while balancing aboard a rickety boat that was smuggling them across the Orontes River, from Syria’s Idlib Province into the safety of Turkey. Since then, more than 1.5 million Syrians have fled their homeland, seeking shelter wherever they can find it: renting apartments in east Amman, sleeping in makeshift tent settlements in the Bekaa Valley, or confined to fenced-in tent-cities along the borders of Jordan, Turkey, and Iraq.
