IDLIB, Syria (Reuters) - Abdel Razzak al-Khatoun was a well-to-do farmer in Syria's rural Hama province. Ten years after the civil war began, he is penniless, homeless and living in a tent in northern Idlib.
Far worse, he said he had lost 13 sons in the conflict, the oldest aged 27 and the youngest 13. Some were rebels opposed to the government of President Bashar al-Assad who were killed in the fighting.
