Children can t see future in Syria after 10 years of war: charity By AFP Published: Mar 09, 2021 07:28 PM Many Syrian children, both inside and outside the country, cannot imagine a future in their homeland as the conflict there enters its 11th year, a charity said on Tuesday. This 10-year war has cost Syria s young people their childhoods, Save the Children s regional director Jeremy Stoner said. Protracted conflict has led to fear and pessimism about children s ability to build their lives in a country scarred by war, he said in a statement.

Many displaced Syrian children are unable to imagine a future in their homeland, according to a report by Save the Children. A large number also struggle with discrimination and access to education. I wish to live in any country other than Syria, where it s safe and there are schools and toys. It s not safe here, the sound of dogs scares me and the tent is not safe.
