He is suffering a slow and debilitating existence under conditions beyond your comprehension. Fighting starvation and under the constant threat of violent attacks...... his life is on the line everyday!

This is not a joke, this not a game, this is his struggle. The facts of his situation speak for themselves. If you think you can help him in anyway do not hesitate, we are begging you....his survival could depend on it.
