Hany Al Moliya never imagined he’d become a refugee. But three years ago, after members of his family were murdered in their homes, he and his remaining relatives fled the country and found themselves in a Lebanese refugee camp. He is legally blind and tells his story through photography.

Edited by Lisa Cazzato Vieyra
Filmed by Marc Hofer
Produced and directed by Zahra Mackaoui – @ZahraM5225

Hany’s Story was produced in association with The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
