Syria: Teaching in Qamishli amid the explosions is agony
Nisreen Abdulrahman is a teacher in Qamishli, the largest Kurdish city in northeastern Syria, where Turkey launched a military offensive in October.
She says that blasts repeatedly occur near school walls, many schools shut down, and many of students have dropped out of education since the eight-year-long civil war started. Books are torn, there is a lack of desks and heating is a big problem. As a mother of three, every time she sends her children to school, she fears that they won鈥檛 come back.
