Ghazal, 4, stands along a street near the Syrian Arab Red Crescent center, minutes before what activists said was shelling by forces of Syria's President Bashar al-Assad in Douma on May 6, 2015. Photographer Bassam Khabieh: “Whenever the aid convoy entered the Eastern Ghouta, children would gather around it, happy that they were going to be supplied with food and medicine. While I was there, the children asked me to take their pictures so they could see them on the camera’s screen. The children gathered around me so I could photograph them.” #

Photographer Bassam Khabieh: ”First I took a photo of Ghazal (previous image), then her sister Judy who was carrying a baby called Suhair asked me to take a picture of her kissing the baby.” Judy, age 7, holds 8-month-old Suhair on a street near the Syrian Arab Red Crescent center,in the Douma neighborhood of Damascus on May 6, 2015. #

Minutes after having their portraits made and looking at the images on Khabieh’s camera, a shell explodes nearby, and Ghazal, Judy, Suhair, and others react in terror. Activists said the explosive was launched by forces loyal to Syria's President Bashar al-Assad on May 6, 2015. #
