Humanizing a crisis: Blogging the Syrian conflict

 Razan Ghazzawi:
 “I feel that the West has a lot of experience in telling stories. For example, 9/11. I can now think and share and relate to the pain of 9/11 because of stories, because of how people reported about it. The lives of people, who were they, their faces. But this is not how they deal with our pain. It’s numbers, it’s bodies, it’s people cutting heads. It’s very dehumanizing. It feels like we’re not humans being killed, we’re just Third World people being killed.”
