Ayman, 82, (left) sits with his wife Yasmine, 67, whom he says is the most important thing he was able to bring with him from Syria. "She's the best woman that I've met in my life," he says. "Even if I were to go back 55 years, I would choose you again." The couple, seen here in the Nizip refugee camp in Turkey, fled their rural home near Aleppo after their neighbor and his son, a shepherd, were brutally killed. Their home stands on land covered with olive trees, grapes, nuts, and fruits. Breaking into tears, Ayman describes how nearby farms came under attack, and how homes were looted and set on fire. "It is unbelievable that any human being can do this to another," he said.
