<div class="p1">When Ibrahim and Hauna John got married in April in a Cameroon refugee camp it was a very happy ending to a harrowing journey. They had planned to wed in their village in northeast Nigeria, but when Boko Haram militants attacked they fled for their lives and the two were separated.</div>
<p>&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t easy for me to be separated from the one I love,&#8221; Ibrahim said, according to UNICEF, who shared the couple&#8217;s love story as part of a 2015 series of photographs showing moments of hope and joy in even the most dire humanitarian situations.<br />
From South Sudanese refugees in Uganda to a group of Syrian children in Jordan, photographers captured the remarkable resilience of people who have been forced from their homes and devastated by conflict. The United Nations&#8217; refugee agency said last year that a record number of people have been forcibly displaced around the globe, and by the end of the year will likely exceed 60 million people.<br />
The camp where Ibrahim and Hauna live, and plan to start a family, is home to nearly 50,000 refugees who fled Boko Haram attacks. Water, food and shelter are in short supply. The extremist group&#8217;s campaign of violence in Nigeria and neighboring countries has forced over 2 million Nigerians to flee their homes. Some 90,000 Cameroonians have also been displaced by the militant group&#8217;s attacks.<br />
&#8220;The very first day we met in the camp, I could not resist her. I had to hold her to my cheek,&#8221; Ibrahim said. &#8220;Heaven was very close to me that day.&#8221;<br />
