War drove refugees into Turkey. Climate change is making it harder to leave.

Even after the start of Syria’s civil war in 2011, beekeeper Muhammad Salih regularly traveled along the country’s northern border with Turkey in search of the best spots to produce the honey that sustained his family. It wasn’t until four years later, when Islamic State militants took control of his hometown and killed his brother-in-law, along with his seven children, that Salih decided it was time to move for good. Drought has cut his honey production in half over the past five years.

This year, the rains returned but brought intense flooding and hail that destroyed the flowers his business depends on.
