If you are able to go to Rabbas at 2 am and never once do you turn your head sideways or back.


You are in a good one.
 
I feel safe walking down the back alleys in the daytime, but I stick to the main well lit roads when it's dark. There have been 4 or 5 drug/gang related targeted shootings within a few blocks of my place within the last year.
 
Syrian girl raises hands in ‘surrender’ in heartbreaking photo

The photo of a little girl in a refugee camp with her arms raised in surrender with a look of fear on her face has become a symbol of the human cost of the bloody war in Syria that has entered its fifth year.

The heartbreaking image of a four-year-old Syrian girl who “surrendered” when she mistook the photographer’s camera for a gun has been shared by thousands around the world and is representative of the thousands who have died in the Syrian conflict.

Turkish photographer Osman Sagirii captured the photo of the girl at the Atmen refugee camp near the Syrian border to Turkey last December and told the BBC Tuesday the girl, whose name is Hundea, was terrified when she saw his telephoto lens.

“I realized she was terrified after I took it, and looked at the picture, because she bit her lips and raised her hands. Normally kids run away, hide their faces or smile when they see a camera,” Sagirli told the broadcaster.

He said the picture reveals what life is like in refugee camps. “You know there are displaced people in the camps. It makes more sense to see what they have suffered not through adults, but through children,” Sagirli told the BBC. “It is the children who reflect the feelings with their innocence.”
