A single refugee is a tragedy; more than 4 million refugees is a statistic….

Iraqis have been fleeing their homes en masse. As displaced victims of war are forced to seek refuge in other parts of Iraq or in neighboring nations, they have turned into a number: 4.9 million un-named, anonymous non-entities, statistically relevant yet individually insignificant.

The days of my stay in Syria offered a small window into the magnitude of a catastrophe that is still unfolding and shows no sign of lessening in any immediately conceivable future.

Who are these fleeing Iraqis? Can they be turned from statistics into individual human beings?
