“The crisis has the face of a child”, said EU Commissioner for International Cooperation, Humanitarian Aid Crisis Response Kristalina Georgieva. UNICEF Executive Director Antony Lake added that “the real danger is that we will lose a generation of Syrian children to hatred and hopelessness”.
Contributors to the debate shared their latest reports, stressing that the humanitarian crisis affects children most, which is not only a tragedy in itself, but compromises the country’s future and its chances to recover from the conflict.
