"We arrived last week from Aleppo. We ran away from the war after two of my five children were killed by government forces. They were seven and fourteen years old. We couldn't stay any longer. There was no food, no running water and no services of any kind. Mousa, here, has no childhood. I cant even get him any food. The UNHCR (The UN refugee agency) gives us 80 TL (26 USD) a week to live off of. All I have is my three remaining children and my wife but how can we live off of just 80TL?
I don't want to go to Europe or America or anywhere else. I just want to go back home and be treated like a human being."

When asked about why he chose to come to Turkey and not any other Arab country, he responded, "I tried, but Arabs are not welcomed in their brothers' houses. We will 'ruin' the image of the city."

The father refused to have his and his wife's names displayed but allowed me to share their childrens' names: Mousa (pictured), Ahmed (sleeping in the fathers arms), and Hala (selling tissue packs on Taksim Square).

I tried to locate Hala to photograph her and ask her a few questions. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find her since Taksim square is one of the busiest places in Turkey.
