The Swallows of Syria, Lebanon

Lebanon - Tripoli - .Zahra, 46 years old, arrived in Tripoli from Zahra almost one year ago, during Ramadan, after seeing the bodies of the first protesters killed by the security forces being paraded along the village at funerals. Her family savings ran out last month, and she doesn't know how to pay the next-month-rent of 200 USD. ?Yes, the regime is corrupted and used to mistreat people, but before the revolution we used to live better. Live was quiet and peaceful?, she says bitterly.
