Amar Hag Omar, 36, and his children, Mohammed, 7, and Yazan, 5, play in the water in Kos, Greece. The father says they left Syria because, “I don't want [the children] to grow up thinking getting bombed by Bashar al-Assad is a normal way of life.”

16-year-old Mohamed Kuba from Syria spends his days swimming and his nights sleeping in the streets of Kos, Greece while he waits for transit papers. His goal is to make it to Germany to study.
