Syrian girl begins hearing again with help of Turkish group

An 11-year-old Syrian girl began hearing again when a Turkish charity helped her get new hearing aids after she lost hers five years ago while fleeing a barrage of bombs.

Samiye Haj Mustafa, deaf from birth, lost her last hearing aids when she was trying to escape bombardment in the city of Aleppo during the Syrian civil war.
