The Syrian refugee on the UK's coronavirus front lines | UK | Al Jazeera

London, United Kingdom - Once a week, Hassan Akkad has a recurring nightmare.

He is in Syria. He is stuck. And he cannot leave.

"My happy memories of Syria are overridden by nightmares," he tells Al Jazeera, in an interview on Skype. "It's sad that this is how it seeps into my brain from my subconscious."

Those happy memories are road trips to Latakia, barbecues in Ghouta, the countryside that surrounds Damascus, gathering with friends and "goofing around" and sitting around the family dinner table with his loved ones, his grandparents.
