Homeless children play in the ruins <strong>of</strong> Homs after<br />

Opposition forces have left the area, 14 June 2014. During<br />

the siege, children were left to fend for themselves when<br />

their parents went missing or were caught on the wrong<br />

side <strong>of</strong> the newly established checkpoints<br />

“HIS PHOTOGRAPHS, USED WITH<br />

MINIMAL EQUIPMENT, PRIORITISE<br />

THE CONSEQUENCES OF CONFLICT”<br />

An inflatable dinghy, crowded with refugees and migrants, is pulled<br />

ashore on the island <strong>of</strong> Lesbos after sailing five miles across the Aegean<br />

Sea from Turkey, 27 July 2015. Half the pre-war population <strong>of</strong> Syria –<br />

almost 11 million people – have been forced from their homes. Many <strong>of</strong><br />

them have become refugees in either Europe or neighbouring countries<br />
