The traumatised children of war-torn Syria
 |
Defining images of Syrian children living amid the ongoing conflict in their country. Syrian children have been shot at, tortured and raped during two years of unrest and civil war, the London-based international charity Save the Children said in a report released on Wednesday.
Two million children, it said, face malnutrition, disease and severe trauma, becoming innocent victims of a bloody conflict that has already claimed 70,000 lives.
Both government forces and rebels have been accused of targeting civilians and committing war crimes. Refugees say that President Bashar-al Assad's soldiers are directly targeting children.
