Dear Deeply Readers,
Welcome to the archives of Syria Deeply. While we paused regular publication of the site on May 15, 2018, and transitioned some of our coverage to Peacebuilding Deeply, we are happy to serve as an ongoing public resource on the Syrian conflict. We hope you’ll enjoy the reporting and analysis that was produced by our dedicated community of editors contributors.
We continue to produce events and special projects while we explore where the on-site journalism goes next. If you’d like to reach us with feedback or ideas for collaboration you can do so at [email protected].
Shelly Kittleson is a freelance journalist based in Rome, who has covered stories of displacement in the Middle East and Afghanistan. She is a frequent contributor to Refugees Deeply.

In the fourth installment of our “Bags and Belongings” series, in which we ask refugees what they packed in their bags and what they left behind, we meet Ibrahim Jawdat, a humanitarian worker from Aleppo who fled to Turkey to join his brother, a military defector.
Two Syrian brothers who are both journalists describe the harrowing decisions that led one to flee their hometown of Aleppo for Turkey, and the other to keep working from inside the besieged city.
As part of our ongoing series “Childhood Under Attack,” this week we present the story of a Syrian boy struggling to find a new home after Islamic State members brutally sawed off two of his limbs and he and his family were forced to flee.
