Syria’s children bear “invisible scars” of brutal conflict

(Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Nearly three years of fighting has subjected Syrian children to unspeakable suffering, and inflicted widespread trauma – “invisible scars” – which have received little attention, aid workers say. “It’s always obvious that every single child I speak to is traumatised and has seen horrors and has seen things that no one should see,” she added. “(There is) the constant speaking about death, about the fear of death, dreaming about death,” UNICEF spokeswoman Juliette Touma said by telephone from the Jordanian capital Amman.
