He’s from Al-Qa’im, west of Iraq. He came to the refugee camp in Lebanon 15 months ago.
Turky has a story.
He lost his leg as a result of the war between ISIS and the Iraqi army. Turky has 2 daughters who don’t know if their husbands are still alive and Turky has had to take on the role of a father to his grandchildren. On top of this, he cares for his nephew, whose parents were killed during the war.
Turky is the stronghold of his delicate family. While they live among chaos, they’ve found a new normal for now. We believe that Turky is an ordinary hero to his family, and especially to us.
