Siria recupera la Navidad tras una larga guerra

Los sirios demuestran que la Navidad se puede celebrar tras haber superado una guerra. Como se recuerda, este conflicto se llevó miles de vidas y empujó a otros a buscar un futuro en tierras lejanas donde ahora son llamados “refugiados”.

Tras más de seis años de guerra, casi un cuarto de la población de Siria vive en el exilio. Mientras que la soledad y los escombros se apoderan de quienes se quedaron, en una fecha tan conmemorativa como la Navidad, algunos se juntan para compartir un poco de la alegría de haber sobrevivido al horror.
