Tatars of Ukraine's Crimea came out in their
thousands, chanting Allahu Akbar in a show of
loyalty to the new authorities in Kiev and
opposition to separatist demands by the
region's Russian ethnic majority. But now, with
Moscow's military forces having unexpectedly
seized control, the indigenous Muslim people of
the isolated Black Sea peninsula have all but
vanished from the public square, keeping their
heads down to avoid being sucked into war.

eight chemo sessions. They
commuted to Damascus for
chemotherapy until the road
became too dangerous, and they
had to stop treatment. By the time
they reached Lebanon and tried to
resume chemotherapy, his health
deteriorated dramatically. There
are roughly one million Syrian
refugees in Lebanon, comprising
almost 20% of Lebanon's current
population. With no formal refugee
camps in the country, Syrian
refugees live in makeshift
accommodations across Lebanon,
straining Lebanon's infrastructure
and resources. Many Syrians have
struggled to access and afford
health care, especially when trying
to treat terminal and chronic illness.
