ISTANBUL Jose Altuve Jersey , May 29 (Xinhua) -- Some Syrian refugee children aged 7-10 have been busy earning a living among the crowd of the Istiklal Street in Turkey's Istanbul by selling boxes of Kleenex during the working hours.


People, mostly tourists passed by paying little or no attention to the children's mumbling words that made no sense. They were begging in Arabic or trying to sell few boxes of Kleenex with their little Turkish.


"We came to Turkey two years ago since then I have been selling Kleenex on the streets," said 12-year-old Hassan. Hassan's father and brother sell prayer beads to meet the expenses of the family.


There are now more than two million Syrian refugees in Turkey with only 200,000 living in official camps.


In Istanbul, the situation is getting worse as their number exceed 300,000.


Their struggle to survive grows as their hope to soon return home fades away. The number of children begging for a few Turkish liras per day has been doubling each day.


Children miss their homes the most while their dream about the future combines around one ideal: to go to school.


"I miss the piece of land of Syria the most. One's country is one's life. One day I will go back Jon Singleton Jersey ," said Hassan optimistically.


However his smiling face has been soured when asked about his schooling.


"Who in the earth will bring schools to us?" asked Hassan while adding that he has only one dream about the future. "I just want to have my education no matter which job I will choose," he said.


Ten-year-old Mohammad also said that he definitely wants to go to school to work in a hospital. Shortly after, he added that he also wants to work as car mechanic or something like that."


Mohammad makes five to eight U.S. dollars a day by selling Kleenex or by begging. He and six others including his parents and cousins are living in an empty room of a shop. The money he makes on the street meets the half of the rent. He can also give some money to his mother.


In the meantime, the life in Istiklal Street has been rushing fast. Far from the madding crowd another small Syrian boy was sitting on the street with a small money box in front. Inside the box one coin was leaping to the eye. He seemed depressed.


His name was Hannan and he is 10 years old. "I want to go to school in Syria. I want to be a worker in the future. Nothing but a worker," he said.


As their number has been increasing, the concerns among Turks towards them have also been raised.


Oytun Orhan Jeff Bagwell Jersey , an analyst at the Centre for Middle Eastern Strategic Studies, pointed out that at the beginning, when Syrians first crossed the border, Turks were hospitable.


However, the assumption which stated that one day they would return home has been fading
