Felicia Padilla 5th period: "4 - year old Syrian refugee found alone in the desert"

A 4-year-old Syrian refugee named Marwan was discovered alone in the middle of a desert. He has become separated from his mother when workers for the United Nations found him. A United Nations official reported that he was successfully reunited with his family across the border in Jordan. When the boy was discovered, all he was carrying was a small plastic bag. Marwan is one of more than one million child refugees to flee Syria since the three-year-old conflict began, and one of more than two million people overall who have fled the "war-torn nation." Many of the refugees end up in Jordan.


This must have been incredibly scary for this four year old boy. I don't know what I would have done at four years old if I was in an unfamiliar territory and without my mom. He was extremely lucky to have been found by UN officials who were able to help him reunite with his mom.
