Children at risk in Syria

About 5.5 million children, a whole generation, suffers the effects in terms of war ed. devastadoresdesta and physical and psychological health.

For half a million children living naked refugee camp, education is a luxury.

The case of Ali Awad, with 12 years of age. Envy the lucky other children:

"We went to a public school in Syria, but we are forced to flee to Jordan. Here we don't have a real school and dream about what we had in Syria. "

Despite the conditions are very difficult in the field, Dina, a refugee mother, prefers that the kids are here:

"I was afraid they'd get sick and there was no doctor or don't find drugs. I was afraid that my kids get sick during the bombing and we couldn't get out. "

According to the UN, more than 10 million children died during the war; but the UNICEF report discloses a higher number.

More than one million children are surrounded in areas where humanitarian organisations cannot reach. The 12-year-old boys are recruited. Ted Chaiban, UNICEF talks about sacrifice of generation:

"We estimate that one in every ten children in the refugee camps is swept away, in a sense, to help the family. We also have knowledge of early marriages, for the same reason â€" a problem that already existed in Syria and now increased. "

The psychological impact of war on children makes them grow much faster than anticipated, which explains why we insist on the need for education ".

Despite the efforts of NGOs to arrange space for teaching in the refugee camps, as there is no funding, education is precarious.

UNICEF has managed to obtain only 8% of the financing it needed to do its job properly. The humanitarian organiza4ões alert: If the war continues, the situation of children deteriorates.
