While you are reading these words, a blockade by the Syrian regime on the Palestinian refugee camp of Yarmouk in the south of Damascus, still goes on.

For more than 500 days, the Syrian regime has been blocking food, electricity and medicines for the Yarmouk camp. For more than 100 days, water is no more distributed. This situation is increasing the continuous suffering of more than 20,000 civilians with no hope of it ending.

More than 170 people have already died, including children according to Yarmouk News. Children of this siege are living in the worst nightmare imaginable. They no longer have the luxury of playing in the streets. Now their days are consumed with the fear of being targeted with bombs.

We should not forget that millions of Syrian children live in the besieged area as well as in refugee camps in Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan. Their childhood is being wasted. They have no hope for the future, nor a chance to relive their childhood the way it should have been.

These posters are letters from children who live in the Yarmouk refugee camp.

The pictures below were taken by the photographer Niraz Saied, who won the 2014 Youth Wins UNRWA / EU Photography Competition and Moaz Sabbagh is the author of the posters.
