“IT FEELS LIKE THE END OF THE WORLD”
Syria: By the numbers. It’s one thing to see the statistics. After 7 years of war, Syria is now the #1 most dangerous country to be a child. Not only that, but grave child rights violations continue. That means killing, maiming, sexual violence, abduction, recruitment into combat, attacks on schools and hospitals, and denial of humanitarian access. In fact, some 5.3 million Syrian children need our help right now.
Syria: In their words. It’s quite another to hear Syria’s children express the realities of war in their own words. “There is no food and we can’t go outside… the planes are bombing,” says a terrified child. “One of my friends died in front of me – and I saw the blood,” cries another. According to a young boy in besieged Eastern Ghouta, “It feels like the end of the world.”
