Suheil, a soft-spoken 23-year-old, sees no hope for the future in Syria. The video engineer is scraping together US$2,500 (RM10,975) or so to finance a perilous journey to seek a new life in Europe, fleeing what looks like a war without end.
In his baseball cap, checked shirt and jeans, Suheil would not stand out in a Damascus crowd or among the hundreds of thousands of his compatriots crossing the border to Lebanon. From there they are scrambling on to planes to Turkey, and then boats, buses and trains to reach Germany or other safe havens in the biggest movement of people the world has seen in 70 years.
