To distract 4-year old Selva, her father Abdullah has made up a game.
Each time a bomb drops in Idlib #Syria, they laugh, so she doesn’t get scared.

This video brings to fore the grave crisis Syrians are going through and how they are trying to lead a happy life despite the devastation that’s happening around them.
It is surely a source of inspiration for us in ways more than one.
