In this Monday, Dec. 10, 2012 photo, a Syrian boy who fled his home with his family walks back to his tent, next to laundry hung on olive trees, at a camp for displaced Syrians, in the village of Atmeh, Syria. This tent camp sheltering some of the hundreds of thousands of Syrians uprooted by the country's brutal civil war has lost the race against winter: the ground under white tents is soaked in mud, rain water seeps into thin mattresses and volunteer doctors routinely run out of medicine for coughing, runny-nosed children.
