Syrian refugees in Turkey struggle to stay in touch with families back home
More than 3.5 million Syrian refugees have been taking shelter in Turkey. And most of them have families back in their home country. But, staying in touch is a challenge.

Turkey has been home to more than 3.5 million Syrian refugees who fled war and destruction in their home country.
Most of these refugees have families in areas in Syria where either the internet service is too bad or there are no internet service providers at all.
Many refugees have managed to buy smart phones with their limited resources, but contacting family and friends remains a challenge.
