Human nature always finds a way to survive. We have to keep going, that's  how these families in the suburbs of Raqqa survived. They had to find a way of rebuilding houses for themselves and their families. That area of Syria was ignored from the government even before the revolution, and afterward it was shelled which created a mess.  
 
People there went back in history and started making their houses like the ancient did, from mud. In the video you see them building them by hands, no machines involved. All hand made for them to live in. Who could possibly believe that this is happening today in 2013, when towers made it passed clouds? 
 
The question remains.
