In this five-part series, Ted Chaiban, Director of Emergency Programs for UNICEF, provides a first-hand account of the conflict in Syria's impact on children.
 
The conflict in Syria has produced a massive humanitarian crisis that's displaced people internally and sent many children and families fleeing for safety into Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey. UNICEF has been working to protect and provide for those caught up in violence, delivering safe shelter and basic health services in refugee camps, installing wells to provide clean water, and establishing temporary learning spaces so that the education of Syria's children is not interrupted. UNICEF is appealing for $197 million to support its humanitarian operations in Syria and the surrounding sub-regions.
