An estimated 3.1 million children in Syria are in need of help and more than one million have fled the country to live in neighbouring countries.
Cat Carter, head of humanitarian communications, at Save the Children, said, ‘Our teams have so far helped over 600,000 children and family members across the region, including over 230,000 inside Syria with food, safe water, medicine, shelter, protection and education.’
