Description :
Imagine that one day you have to leave your normal life behind and flee without documents, money or personal things because episodes of violence are taking place in your town. These people saw how
their family were killed during the attack and had to run away under the heavy rain, trekking three days in the mountains without food or water until they reached the safe camp where they are trying to survive now.
