Half of Syria's children -- that's four million -- have grown up only knowing a life of violence, as the war-battered country enters its eighth year of conflict, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has said.
"Every eight-year-old in Syria has been growing up amidst danger, destruction and death," the agency Executive Director, Henrietta Fore, said following a five-day visit to the country.
"These children need to be able to return to school, receive their vaccinations, and feel safe and protected. We need to be able to help them."
Four million children have been born in Syria since the conflict started, which has touched every single part of the country.
