Azaz/Syria - The story of Omar, 36 years old.

Omar, thirty-six years old, a man who has been suffering from a visual disability for ten years, lived in the town of Maarat before the Kahramanmaraş earthquake occurred on February 6, 2023, which destroyed most of the features of life in the city of Omar and the surrounding cities, and among the destruction left by this earthquake was Omar’s house, The man who could not see his house in its best condition, not even after that, large parts of his house were destroyed as a result of that earthquake. After the earthquake, and after he found himself without a home or a place to live, he moved to the city of Azaz, where he lived in an unfinished house devoid of doors and windows. Those harsh conditions he went through added many challenges to his life.

“I survived the earthquake after parts of the house were destroyed and the house became uninhabitable. Then I moved to the city of Azaz after the earthquake and lived in an unfinished house with no doors or windows,” Omar says.
