Leaving Syria cover

A dispatch from the front lines of the world's most pressing humanitarian crisis. Meet the children, women, and men who have given up untenable lives in Syrian conflict zones for the risk of travel as refugees, to Greece. Editors Bill Dienst, MD and Madi Williamson and their contributors -- most of whom have served on the ground with the ngo SCM Medical -- report from the refugee camps of Greece on the crisis of refugees, primarily Syrian refugees, who have fled the violence and are now caught in military style detention camps with no end in sight.

"First-hand accounts of the Syrian refuge experiences in Lesvos, Idomeni, and Eko camps in Greece from October 2015 through February 2017. Medical practitioners and humanitarian workers from the US, Jordan, and Syria as well as refuges themselves bring to life the refugee crisis in Greece." -- Linda Sartor, Turning Fear into Power
