| [NPASYRIA] Every morning, Muhammad al-Dakal, a minor from the Syrian government-held city of Madan in the southeast Raqqa countryside, headed to a construction workshop in order to make money to secure a living for his mother and two younger siblings. Following ten hours of work, he returns to home wearing muddy clothes and gives his daily wage of 2500 Syrian pounds (SYP) to his mother. Al-Dakal’s case is similar to those of his peers, who are working in construction workshops for low wages in the government-held areas in both the eastern countryside of Raqqa and western countryside of Deir ez-Zor. |
