syria, russia's putin and bashar al assad are on the same side. this is thanks to russia, the poster reads. we were brought to this, the sport city camp to see how the syrian government and their kremlin backers say they give refuge. one government-sanctioned aid worker told me how and why these people are here. what have these people been through to drive them to become refugees? >> these people just don't have any homes. don't have any families. so horrible stuff -- kids here, i hear stuff from kids about killing, about death. you know, it's horrible. they live horribly. they just feel safe here. they don't want to leave the land and didn't have the money to pay for the trip to europe which anybody can do. >> reporter: is that why these refugees are here being protected essentially by president assad?
