A right to exist: The stateless Syrian children
Syrian refugees who give birth in Lebanon struggle to secure a legal identity for their children.

In the damp, dimly lit cement room she now calls home, Dina sits cross-legged on a flat cushion, listlessly fumbling with the hem of her robe. Gaunt, sombre, and dressed in a plain black abaya, the 37-year-old mother of six is exhausted. Like many Syrians of her generation, Dina was forced to flee to Lebanon from a country where she once felt safe, but which is now engulfed in civil war.

In Syria, she lived near a UNESCO world heritage site, the medieval Krak des Chevaliers castle. In Lebanon, she shares a single room with her family in Wadi Jamous, an agricultural area to the north of the country's second city, Tripoli.

After two-and-a-half years as refugees, her family is "tired, very tired", Dina says.

"The situation is hard for myself, for my kids, for my husband," she continues. "We have nowhere to go.

"I'm most afraid for the future of my children."
