After six years of war in Syria, nearly 6 million children now depend on humanitarian assistance, a twelve-fold increase from 2012. Millions of children have been displaced, some up to seven times. Over 2.3 million children are now living as refugees in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq. And the situation is deteriorating, as 2016 was the worst year on record for Syrian children.
 
More and more children are being killed, injured or recruited to the ranks of warring parties. Countless others are dying in silence from preventable causes because access to medical care and facilities is increasingly difficult. But these are not just numbers. They carry beneath them stories of real people, of shattered dreams and broken hearts, BUT also stories of courage, dignity, hope and determination. #TheSyriaIWant
