It was 2011 in Aleppo, Syria, and mother of two, Zuzan Hassan was nine months pregnant with twin boys. Her family of four were living on the top level of a five-storey apartment block when a series of airstrikes began above them.
“Our building was collapsing so I was running away with my two small kids, and the babies in my stomach fell out in the street,” she says.
