    Photos: Syria's war has killed and wounded 12,000 children

    More than 1,300 education and medical facilities and personnel have come under attack

    Syria's 10-year-long civil war has killed or wounded almost 12,000 children and left millions out of school in what could have repercussions for years to come in the country, the U.N. children's agency said. The grim statistics were released in a UNICEF report ahead of the 10th anniversary of Syria's conflict that began in mid-March 2011. The war has killed nearly half a million people, wounded more than a million and displaced half the country's population, including more than 5 million refugees.

    Over the past year, the situation has been compounded by a severe economic and financial crisis and the spread of coronavirus. Medical facilities have been hard hit by a devastating war that left large parts of Syria destroyed. Above, members of the Civil Defence rescue children after an airstrike in Aleppo in 2014.

    One in six young Syrians said at least one of their parents was killed or seriously injured. "This has been a decade of savage loss for all Syrians. For young people, in particular, the last ten years have been marked by loss of loved ones, loss of opportunities and loss of control over their future," said Robert Mardini, the ICRC's Geneva-based director-general.

    The reported numbers of children displaying psychosocial distress symptoms doubled in 2020, as continued exposure to violence, shock and trauma had a significant impact on children's mental health, with short and long-term implications, it said.

    UNICEF also said that since the conflict began, more than 1,300 educational and medical facilities and personnel have come under attack. The agency said that nearly 2.45 million children in Syria and an additional 750,000 Syrian children in neighboring countries are out of school, 60% of them boys. It said the situation for many children and families remains precarious, with nearly 90% of children in need of humanitarian assistance, a 20% increase in the past year alone. Image Credit: AFP
