Syrian Arab Republic, 2012 - Children shelter in the doorway of a house, amid gun fire and shelling, in a city affected by the conflict.
UNICEF is currently participating in an inter-agency assessment of needs in conflict-affected parts of Syria and has requested US$7.4 million to – with governments, UNHCR and local and international NGOs – address the needs of some 40,000 refugee children, including those staying with host families, in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. Support includes psychosocial assistance for children traumatized by the conflict to which they have been subjected or borne witness.
