Politics aside, Magnus Wennman [3] is making a huge statement without even saying a word.
Wennman, a Swedish news photographer, is attempting to humanize the nearly 4 million refugees [4] who have fled the war in Syria by photographing powerful images of the children and telling their individual stories. In his photo series "Where the Children Sleep [5]," Wennman captures haunting shots of children during their journeys along the Serbian-Hungarian border, in a refugee camp, and in a hospital. He captions each devastating shot with their specific plight. These heart-wrenching photos give faces to what is often expressed in the news as an elusive number.
Nearly half of the Syrian refugees are kids [6] who have been suffering through war since 2011 as they flee across the Middle East and Europe. According to Wennman, these are their stories.
