Spiraling violence in northwest Syria has forced 6,500 children to flee every day, bringing the total number of displaced children in the area to more than 300,000 since early December 2019.
Displaced children and families are moving north toward safer parts of rural Idlib and Aleppo, taking refuge in schools, mosques, unfinished building and shops under rudimentary conditions. Thus, adding to their vulnerability and exacerbating their need for urgent humanitarian assistance as well as basic services, a need continuing to grow by the hour.
UNICEF reiterates that the protection of children and the civilian infrastructure they rely on in northwest Syria and across the country must be spared in combat by all parties to the conflict.
