Halifax Stanfield International Airport and Almasa Habash

Mohammad Al Habash: Thirty-six-year-old Mohammad Al Habash was a businessman in Syria, according to CTV. He and his wife, Almasa Habash, five-year-old daughter Nada, and four-year-old son Taimullah left a refugee camp in Beirut. The young family of four arrived at the Halifax Stanfield International Airport from Toronto Wednesday afternoon – the last leg of a long journey from their war-torn homeland. Eight thousand kilometres later, they’ve arrived in their new home. The family quick arrival wouldn't have been possible without the private sponsorship of Saint Benedict Parish, which has been quietly bringing refugees to Canada for years. Nova Scotia Immigration Minister Lena Diab, acting as a translator, says the family is expressing gratitude for all the work done to bring them to Halifax. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
