Nora is a 15-year-old from the countryside of Damascus. She came with her family by road around the same time of the June 30 protests to oust Morsi and the violence that ensued. En route they were stopped in Jordan, which prevents many Syrians from crossing through its territory to get to Egypt. Given the dire condition of the children, Nora and her family fled to Egypt hoping for safety, but immediately upon arrival they say they were shocked by news of the attempted kidnapping of a Syrian girl.
