DWF - Syrien Refugees in Iowa
Syrian Refugees
Sedra Tameem walks her younger sister and brother, Hala and Mutaz, to their busstop in the family's Des Moines neighborhood.
Ghazweh Aljabooli and her husband, Abdul Fattah Tameem, are refugees from Syria who were placed in Des Moines, Iowa with their five children. The family's hometown of Homs has seen some of the most fierce fighting and destruction of the civil war in Syria. For two years the family fled fighting within Syria before making it to Jordan, where they began the long process of of getting refugee status in the United States. From Jordan, Aljabooli and Tameem and their children were flown to Iowa to start a new life in middle America. While the transition has not been easy Tameem says, "the only positive thing is my kids are safe, this is essential."
Iowa's Republican Governor, Terry Branstad, has apposed Syrian refugees being placed in his state. The federal government is in charge of refugee settlement though, and the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, a nonprofit that contracts with the U.S. Department of State, settled the Tameem family in Des Moines.

AG - Refugee crisis in Europe
Refugee crisis in Europe
Kadoni Kinan, 26, a volunteer, helps a young Syrian boy as he disembarks a boat near Scala, on the island of Lesvos, Greece on September 30, 2015. The Agean sea is particularly rough, with the first signs of winter storms beginning today. Many refugees were sea sick, some to the point of life threatening conditions due to dehydration and cold.
Kadoni Kinan, 26, left his home in Saragep, Syria five years ago. Kinan successfully filed for refugee status, and today lives in Belgium, where he studies Flemish at school and volunteers for the Red Cross. While Kinan was waiting for his asylum application to be completed over 2.5 years, he stayed in a refugee center that was run by the Red Cross.
?They gave me a lot when I was living there, and now its time for me to give them something back.? Kinan said in an interview. Kinan flew to Greece in the middle of September to volunteer on the beaches, welcoming and assisting refugees after they landed on the island Lesbos.
A UNICEF photographer that was working on assignment in Lesbos captured Kinan carrying a Syrian boy, both beaming, moments after a boat landed on the coast on a day that had particularly rough waters. After posting the photograph on various social media, viewers identified Kinan, who got in touch with the photographer. Kinan remembered the moment vividly.
?This lovely boy made my day with his nice smile. When every one else was afraid, this boy was laughing.? Kinan said, ?When their boat arrived, everyone looked pale and afraid and this boy was the only one with a big smile, and that is how he drew my attention immediately. I went directly him and got him out of the boat and we started playing and laughing... I always try to welcome them with smile face because I think that will make them comfortable.?
?I did this because I am myself a refugee and I know this feeling very well and It would be good for the refugees who come by boat to find someone welcoming them,? he said, ?ma

Humanitarian Crisis in the Central African Republic
Grimari.
A woman gives water to her child.
4,800 displaced Christians have taken refugee at the Catholic mission of Grimari to escape the fighting between Seleka and Antibalakas
Grimari has been under attack from Antibalakas for two days since it is the gateway to the Ouaka region which is still controlled by Seleka fighters whose general Mahamat Darrassa is a conciliatory figure, having dislodged other Seleka units who were wreaking havoc among local communities. French peacekeepers trust Darassa, viewing him as the only reliable safeguard against sectarian violence in the Ouaka region.

Haiti - One month after
One month after the devestating earthquake that killed almost 300,000 in Haiti, the people of Port au Prince are still living in the streets, cared for by NGO's, and searching for loved ones with their bare hands under the ruins. Chaos is the only way to describe the life in this destroyed city. A country already on it's knees was brought down further by one of the worst earthquakes in history. 175,000 people have fled Port au Prince to towns that were already living below the line of poverty. Others are living in stadiums and parks throughout Port au Prince and bracing themselves for the rainy season.

Several clusters of children with missing forearms were discovered in Moscow. All these hemi-melia births, as scientist call them, occured between 1985-1990 in two neighborhoods. Also no certain links can be drawn between these births defects and Moscow’s bewildering mix of pollutants (dioxin, military plants, trash incinerators etc), most scientific research points to pollution as a cause.

Upstate Girls - What Became of Collar City
Diana, mother of seven. The father of the three oldest has custody and the Family Court ruling requires her to pay child support which takes half her income, leaving less than $200 a week for the family of five. Because she is employed, she has lost food stamp benefits worth more than $500 a month, so works over forty hours a week for only $300 more than she previously had from food stamps and social services.
