Eight years on from the start of the war in Syria, children continue to bear the brunt of the conflict.
In a recent survey, World Vision estimated more than 60 per cent of Syrian children they spoke to fear violence, war and losing a family member.
Two million Syrians registered by UNHCR are in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon, while 3.5 million Syrians are registered by the Government of Turkey. "When we ask them about their dreams, they all want an education and many are having to work and not getting an education," he said. "We should be matching the cost of the bombs that we have participated in dropping with the cost of aid and protection, particularly for these kids. And we should be looking at an increased number of refugees as well. Our share should be 44,000 refugees and we are way under 20,000 at the moment."Save the Children said at least 3580 children of foreign nationalities are living in three camps for displaced people in north-east Syria - most under the age of five.
"Save the Children has been doing a significant amount of screening in some of these camps this year. At the moment about 30 per cent of the children that we are seeing are acutely malnourished," he said.
