Bearing Witness ~ The Refugee Crisis

September 2014 ~ Rain storm approaches Nizip refugee camp, run by the Turkish governmental aid agency, AFAD, located in Nizip, Turkey, 50 or more kilometers north of the border with Syria. Over 30,000 Syrian refugees living in this camp consisting of tents and container. To offer some sense of normalcy, AFAD supplies each tent with a TV, a small kitchen, bedding and communal showers and bathrooms. Most of these refugees have been living in this camp for over two years.

This image is part of a multi-week series, #BearingWitnesstheRefugeeCrisis, delving deep into my archive of more than 20 years documenting forced migration based upon war, conflict, poverty and oppression around the world.

The events we are witnessing throughout Europe and beyond have haunted humanity for centuries, most often caused by the weakness of humanity. Today we are seeing the largest mass migration since World War II, the desperate act of tens of thousands fleeing war and oppression.

Throughout the coming weeks I will be putting a human face on this tragedy, illustrating the reality we bear witness today -- our brothers and sisters in the dire act of survival. No, these are not terrorist. They are mothers, sons. Men, daughters. You and me, all on a journey for hope.

Join me by sharing this story over the coming weeks as we visit eastern Turkey and its border with Syria, Haiti, Cuba, South Sudan, Bangladesh and yes, images soon from Izmir, Turkey, to the beaches of Lesvos, Greece, where I've just returned.

A story that is about all of us.

All my best,

John Stanmeyer
