On a cold night in November 2013, as bombs fell around her home, Yemen ran to the kitchen in terror. In her panic, she ran straight into the stove, spilling a pot of boiling water down her front. With most of her body burned, her mother rushed her to a nearby field hospital, then carried her to safety in Lebanon six days later. “She is very traumatized. She is afraid of everybody and is always crying from pain,” says her mother, hugging Yemen to her chest. “She still has a long way to go. She needs plastic surgery to graft skin from her body.” tracks.unhcr.org/2014/10/caught-in-the-crossfire/
