Within sight of border, war-weary Syrians dream of Turkey

ATME: Desperate to escape war and find medical care for their daughter, Jaber Karawan and his wife have spent hundreds of dollars trying to escape northwestern  Syria  into next-door Turkey.
They have tried five times to smuggle themselves and their two children across the border in recent weeks.
But all their attempts have failed, forcing them back each time to temporary shelter in  Syria ‘s war-torn northwestern region of Idlib.
“There is no work for me here, the situation is disastrous,” 31-year-old Jaber said.
Dreaming of proper treatment for their three-year-old daughter who suffers from an eye condition, Jaber and his wife Walaa have borrowed money from relatives and drained their savings to pay smugglers $1,200.
But on their fifth attempt this week, Jaber tumbled from the grey concrete wall separating the two countries, breaking his leg.
