The Story of Omar



Omar is a nine-year-old Syrian refugee boy who suffers a debilitating hormone deficiency. Untreated for the three years that he lived as a refugee in Lebanon, Omar was resettled last year to Finland. Join his friend Warda Al-Jawahiry, herself a former refugee, on a journey to Finland to see how he is faring in his new home.

This #VirtualReality film was made in cooperation with Nokia and The Humanitarian Cooperative to show the impact of the ongoing refugee crisis through a new lens. #MakeTechHumanitarian For the VR headset version, use the free UNVR app: * Android / Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de... * iOS / App store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/unvr/... Information for media: If you would like to use this video to communicate refugee stories or require B-Roll, transcripts, stills or much more information, please contact us at drozditb@unhcr.org or tibaw@unhcr.org.

There's also a Water Aid story, which followed the aftermath of the Nepal Earthquake.
