A man stands in the middle of a dusty compound. Around him, 60 people sit and drink water that he paid for, eat food that he gave them, and take shelter under the roof of his own house. Their faces are a mix of relief and sadness: relief that they escaped the violence that caused them to flee, and sadness for the destruction they have witnessed and for those they have left behind. These people are not this man’s family – in fact, he has never met most of them before today. But for these 60 people, this man is their only hope, and the only person keeping them alive.
