In this Sunday, Jan. 1, 2017 photo, Zubaida al-Rakad, 35 and 7 months pregnant, a Syrian refugee from Deir el-Zour, holds her son Osama, 18 months, while posing for a picture by the entrance of her shelter, during snowfall at the refugee camp of Ritsona, Greece. "Nothing was left for us in Deir el-Zour, we remained until the end and had no option but to leave and remain safe or stay and die, I wish they just let us move out of here to any country that welcomes us", al-Rakad said. Squalid conditions and subfreezing temperatures in Greece’s migrant camps this winter are taking their toll on everyone living in them with expectant mothers and babies especially feel the brunt.
