Before he had time to be discovered, he fell quietly...

After the civil war broke out in Somalia, many people were forced to flee their homes.

Ouma and his brother Hassan, who were separated from their family, came to a refugee camp in Kenya.

But compared to other homeless refugees, Ouma’s situation is more difficult.
