Mohammed Noor Yaserji is the director of an orphanage in the Turkish border town of Kilis, just a stone’s throw away from Syria.
“A lot of the kids… that we have here have no birth certificate… They were born into the war. They lost their parents. They were never registered. So a lot of the kids that we have here, too, are just essentially stateless,” said Yaserji.
“And so we try to provide them with whatever we can... based on donations we receive.”
