The Syrian Civil War has been going on for a decade now, and shows little sign of ending. Just like any other war, civil or otherwise, there are those dismissingly called “collateral damage” by the war hawks and military brass; the children and women caught in the middle, bearing the brunt of all the violence and the means used to inflict maximum damage while they try their best to just get on with life.
Here’s the story of two such victims, as told by the brilliant BBC journalists. Watch it and remember it the next time you talk to someone about wars and their necessity; how inevitable it often is, and how it must be fought to restore peace and bring evil men to justice.
Try and remember the children.
