harvest in the Bekaa valley,
Lebanon on Oct. 19, 2015. Syrian
refugees work to harvest and

plants in neighboring Lebanon.
Since the rise of ISIS, it is now a
task that could put them, and
their family back in Syria, at risk of
harm including death because
working with, getting close to or
consuming drugs and alcohol is
considered a sin in Islam, refugees
say.
