A decade after the war began in Syria, many of those who have found themselves displaced by the conflict are now living in dreadful conditions in refugee camps in neighbouring countries and across southern Europe. Mahmoud is a father-of-three, originally from central Syria, who has now made Enniscorthy, Co Wexford his home. He worked picking fruit for a time and is now studying online to improve his English. He wished to be identified by his first name only, in order to protect his family, some of whom are still in Syria. Mahmoud came to Ireland from Lebanon in March 2017, as part of a UNHCR resettlement programme. He said his older brother Ahmad, a father-of-six who has already lost three children as a result of the conflict, remains at a refugee camp near Tripoli in Lebanon, without access to work or adequate food and healthcare.
