Noujain Mustaffa, a disabled 16-year-old who fled Syria in a wheelchair, first came to the attention of the world’s news media last month when she arrived on the Greek island of Lesbos in a rubber dinghy with her sister and was photographed by an Irish photographer, Ivor Prickett, on assignment for the United Nations refugee agency.

As Mr. Prickett wrote on Instagram, when he asked Noujain if she had been afraid during the crossing, she replied in fluent English: “No, I enjoyed it. I have never been on a boat before. It was very beautiful. I didn’t know if I was going to live or die, but thank God we are here.”
