Palau Robert picture

When we went in Barcelona apart from doing the interviews, we visited  an exhibition in Palau Robert about photos of the Syrian war. 

This exhibition was very emotional because it shows the situation that Syrian people are living.


Each photo was very striking, but I choose this one because it impact me so much.

In this picture we can see syrians kiss the ground on their arrival on the island after a dangerous journey. In 2015, more than 3000 people, 30% of them children, drowned during their attempt to cross the Mediterranean.
