Watch: From a war zone to Carnaby Street

Over half of Syria’s population has been displaced since 2011, with millions forced to flee the country and having to start all over again.

Watch this video to learn more about his perilous journey and how he went on to start his successful business in London’s iconic Carnaby Street.
