Childhood Under Fire - the Impact of Two Years of Conflict in Syria

From the very beginning of the crisis in Syria, children have been its forgotten victims – facing death, trauma and suffering, and deprived of basic humanitarian aid. Save the Children estimates that nearly 2 million children are in need of assistance in Syria.
Through Save the Children’s work in Syria and the region, we are witnessing what is happening to children and the misery and fear they are living with every day. The only way to stop their suffering is to bring an end to the war. A larger humanitarian action response is absolutely essential, but we also recognise that, without peace, for children in Syria there will only be more death, and more destruction.
