Hala and her five siblings are some of the many Syrians orphaned by the war at home. Now 11, Hala and one of her brothers were playing in their garden two years ago when their neighbourhood was bombed, destroying their home, killing their mother and forcing them to flee to Lebanon. They think that their father, who was last seen in Syria, is most likely dead.
