Syrian Refugee Who Lived in Airport For Seven Months Given Home In Canada
A Syrian refugee who has spent the last seven months living in Kuala Lumpur International Airport has finally found a home after being sponsored by a Canadian woman.
37-year-old Hassan Al Kontar was stranded in the airport after a series of Visa and work permit expirations meant that leaving the airport would result in his deportation back to Syria.
But now Laurie Cooper, a woman from British Columbia, has succeeded in raising $20,000 for his sponsorship and finding him a job at her local hotel.
She was even waiting at the airport to give him a hug and welcome him to Canada.
