Mystery question: Why is Lilith feeling lonely?

So why’s Lilith lonely?

The truth is there are lots but of reasons Lilith’s finding life hard at the moment, here’s what one child told War Child about life as a refugee:

They won’t let me into theMadrassa [school] because my face is

yellow because I have no food. They think because I am yellow that

I have a disease. One boy inside the schoolsaid Syrian children were diseased so

they won’t play with us.
