Turkey. Syrian refugee Darie living in IstanbulSyrian refugee Darie (40) and her daughter Mayas (9) walk through the neighbourhood of Esenler where they live in Istanbul.BACKGROUND INFORMATION:As a medical microbiologist and head of chairman of the microbiology department at the University of Aleppo, Darie did not want to leave Syria. She moved as the war moved, shifting neighbourhoods as barrel bombs and mortar fire attacks advanced. She stayed until the mere act of staying alive became overwhelming. Ultimately, in July 2015, Darie left Aleppo and crossed into Turkey. That is the month when she and her family became refugees.PHOTOGRAPHER
