It wasn’t the war alone that broke Khaled, but the repeated loss and the bitter cold that gnaws at the bodies of his nine children in a small shelter room that offers them neither warmth nor safety. Khaled, a hardworking father, was struck by a shell while trying to provide for his children. One of his legs was amputated, and the other was shattered, causing him to develop elephantiasis, which left him completely unable to work. All Khaled hopes for today is enough food to feed his children and protect them from the pain of hunger. Please don’t abandon them.
