"May God Bless the Hand that Works": Stories from Displaced Syrian Farmworkers during Covid-19

Sometimes there are bombings
close to the fields where
Suhair works.
There have also been cases of
kidnapping.
Sometimes the farmworkers have
clashes with the Syrian army.
Suhair was most afraid when she was pregnant. She was nervous to
climb the ladders to pick olives. Sometimes she also works near
to where the men spray pesticides. She knows of other women
in her work group who have had miscarriages. But she was
lucky and her baby was born healthy.
