Due to everything that has been going on in Syria, hunger has become an issue. You know it can’t be worse when Damascus residents skin and eat lion from Al Qarya Al Shama Zoo.

With a shortage of food supply and residents dying from hunger, on Eid al Adha last month the clerics issued a fatwa that gave permission to the Syrians to eat cats and dogs if their supply of food is low.

eatinglions The UN stood by Syria and delivered food to 3.3 million people in Syria last October, and 2.7 the pervious month, but this is still not enough to feed everyone.

The World Food Programme has said that some parts of Damascus are unreachable due to the unrest, while more and more children are being hospitalized for malnutrition, according to UNICEF.

Nour El Sayed has always been fascinated by photography and art. She spends most of her time trying to combine both and ending up with a triumph. After receiving her AS in Graphic Design, she decided to integrate all three and hoping that one day her work could be widely exhibited. If there's one thing she learnt in life it's that “In a time of destruction, create something.”

She also finds it amusing to write her bio in the third person and happily indulges herself.
