Every night Maram cries for her father. “‘Dad, Dad, Dad’, all the time she is screaming,” the two-year-old’s mother, Fatima Zhour, says. “She misses her father, and she can’t understand why she cannot see him.”
Maram hasn’t seen her father, Yasser al Moussawi, in six months, since she and her mother, who is an Australian citizen, left Lebanon for Sydney.
