This is but a glimpse into the hardships that 90,000 refugees are living through. And, personally (and you probably agree), the article may not be as hard hitting or visceral as the situation demands. But it is a good human interest story and picture.

We Lived in Peace

Before the war in Artsakh, 48-year-old Silva Ghazaryan worked as a cook in Jabrail in Artsakh. The mother of five lived in a spacious apartment. For the past two months, Silva has grown accustomed to living in a small dorm room in Yerevan. Due to the small living quarters she had to send three of her five children to stay with friends and relatives. She now shares the dorm room with her husband, Marat, 50, and their two youngest children, Sussanna, 11, and Suren, 16. The family was forced to flee Jabrail after war broke out on September 27th. Since their arrival in Armenia, the family has received humanitarian support from FAR, including food packages, hygiene supplies, and psychological support from the FAR Children's Center. Center staff have also helped Sussanna to enroll and start school in Yerevan.
