Saleh al-Hussein, a 13-year-old displaced Syrian boy, carries a bag of recyclable items at a rubbish dump in Sarmada in the rebel-held northwestern Idlib province on March 14, 2024. Saleh fled the village Sinjar in the rebel-held northwestern Idlib province with his family in 2016 when he was in the first grade of the primary school, to a camp in Kfar Lusin for displaced people in the same province. When his mother died of cancer in 2022, he was forced to interrupt his intermittent schooling in order to work and help his family.
His work consists of sifting through rubbish to collect plastic, scrap metal and cardboard and selling it for recycling.
On March 15, 2024, Syria will mark 13 years since the government's brutal suppression of the 2011 uprising that triggered a civil war which has killed more than half a million people, drawn in foreign armies and jihadists, and divided the country. (Photo by Aaref WATAD / AFP)
