The Dhaka Times Desk Syria's children are in a dangerous position because of the war. The number of children is increasing along with other affected people. However, various human rights organizations around the world have been expressing concern about the terrible situation of children.
The number of children affected by the war in Syria is increasing. Countless children in Syria are without any protection, medical care or even psychological support. In such a situation, Syria has become a scary and dangerous place for children.
The United Nations children's agency UNICEF said in a report that the Syrian war has had a major impact on 5.5 million children. Many of these children are trapped in various besieged home areas. These children are living in a terrible situation. The right to food, clothing, shelter is equal to everyone, this right is more prominent in the case of children. But children are deprived of that right here. If the situation does not change immediately, the situation of the children may worsen, the UNICEF report said.
This report on the severe impact on children in the last 3 years of civil war in Syria also says that these children in Syria are not getting proper relief and food. And many have no such protection system. According to the report, more than 10 thousand children were killed in the 3-year war. At least one million more children are trapped in different areas due to the war. Not only this, many more children are deprived of medical care, food, education and psychological support. Moreover, children are often killed by sniper fire.
The United Nations also says that areas where children are trapped due to war may be blocked or humanitarian aid cannot reach them. In such a situation, various human rights organizations around the world have called on the United Nations Children's Organization to play a more effective role.
