Eight years from the start of the war in Syria, children continue to suffer the conflict's effects.
A recent survey by World Vision found more than 60 per cent of Syrian children they spoke to fear violence, war and losing a family member, while another agency is pointing to the dire conditions also facing children of foreign nationalities.
London-based human rights monitor, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, says more than 20,000 children are believed to have died since the war in Syria began in March 2011.
Aid agency World Vision has spoken to about 100 Syrian children, aged 15 and under, now living in refugee camps abroad about their hopes and fears.
Two million Syrians registered by the United Nations Refugee Agency, U-N-H-C-R, are in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon, while 3.5 million Syrians are registered in Turkey.
The UNHCR estimates the conflict has produced more than 5.6 million Syrian refugees and 6.1 million internally displaced people, many of them children.
