Lebanon, Faqaa, Selma, 35 years old, is from Zahra. She arrived two weeks ago, after her house was razed by tanks and mortar shelling of the Syrian Army. “We became refugees in our own place, just because we are Sunni”, she says bitterly. Without documents and money, her family is forced to rely on donations and help from the Lebanese families of the village she now lives in. (Photo by Matilde Gattoni)
Panthou village, Aweil South county, Northern Bahr el Ghazal state, South Sudan on October 14, 2015. Thirty-two year old Arek Nuoi, mother of four, is carried by her family members to a hospital bed at Panthou Primary Health Care Center, where she will receive urgent treatment for acute malaria. She arrived unconscious, transported in a chair her family had tied to the seat of a bicycle, which they pushed for one and a half hours from their home village of Maper. She had first shown signs of illness the previous night, complaining of headache and bodily pains. In the morning, she began to vomit and fainted. The health care center at Panthou is currently the only place where patients might be able to receive free treatment and medicine for malaria in the remote rural county of Aweil South. The center has only two staffs – both medical assistants – qualified to diagnose and treat patients, yet was treating approximately 150 malaria patients per day. In October 2015, the center had just received a supply of ACT oral medication for malaria, which they had been out of stock for two months. With the high number of patients, this new supply would be depleted in a week or two. The center also had a low stock of quinine, which they reserved for serious cases. There were no RDTs (rapid detection tests) in stock, so diagnosis could only be done clinically based on symptoms observed. (Photo by Diana Zeyneb Alhindawi)

Aline, along with other rangers and park staff visit the gorilla's in the parks Mikeno sector, where the majority of the gorilla families live in Virunga National Park. Therefore there has been a surge of poaching and violence in the area. For the first time, women have taken up the most dangerous job in wildlife, becoming para-military rangers at the Virunga National Park in DR Congo. Virunga is Africa's oldest national park and home to over 200 of the world's 800 remaining mountain gorillas. For two decades it has been at the centre of a war. Hundreds of rebels operate in the park and over 150 park rangers have died protecting it from them. (Photo by Monique Jaques)
