Fatima, 35, mother-of-six fled Aleppo for Lebanon in 2012. Her husband left her shortly after the war had started. Today, more than three years later, she and her children live in a tiny makeshift tent in Jeb Jannine, the western part of Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley.

Women supporting women | Linking empowerment and resilience in Myanmar
How can we minimise the impacts of a natural disaster?
