In a war-ravaged Palestinian refugee camp in Syria, Radwan Adwan was stacking stones to rebuild his father's grave, finally able to return to Yarmuk cemetery after Bashar al-Assad's fall.
"Without the fall of the regime, it would have been impossible to see my father's grave again," said 45-year-old Adwan.
"When we arrived, there was no trace of the grave."
It was his first visit there since 2018, when access to the cemetery south of Damascus was officially banned.
