Bearing Witness ~ The Refugee Crisis

August 15, 2012 ~ Family members gather for the burial of Hassan Kako, 13, who died of acute malaria at a refugee camp in Yida, South Sudan.

In late 2012, I worked on a project with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF or Doctors Without Borders) in Yida, South Sudan, highlight the plight of 60,000 refugees displaced by conflict in their homeland of Sudan. While there was enough food in the camps, extreme high level of deaths from diarrhea and malaria began spreading, creating a health catastrophe. According to MSF, there wasn't enough toilets, proper sanitation nor water in the one-year old refugee camp, causing diseases to spread rapidly, creating at the time the worst emergency health crisis on earth.

This image is part of a multi-week series, #BearingWitnesstheRefugeeCrisis, delving deep into my archive of more than 20 years documenting forced migration based upon war, conflict, poverty and oppression around the world.

The events we are witnessing throughout Europe and beyond have haunted humanity for centuries, most often caused by the weakness of humanity. Today we are seeing the largest mass migration since World War II, the desperate act of tens of thousands fleeing war and oppression.

Throughout the coming weeks I will be putting a human face on this tragedy, illustrating the reality we bear witness today -- our brothers and sisters in the dire act of survival. NO, these are not terrorist. They are mothers, sons. Men, daughters. You and me, all on a journey for hope.

Join me by sharing this story over the coming weeks as we visit eastern Turkey and its border with Syria, Haiti, Cuba, South Sudan, Bangladesh and yes, images soon from Izmir, Turkey, to the beaches of Lesvos, Greece, where I've just returned.

A story that is about all of us.

All my best,

John Stanmeyer
