A boy and his father in Cyber City, a transit facility for Syrian refugees, in Ramtha, Jordan.
They, the boy’s mother and oldest siblings arrived in Jordan one month before; the family’s youngest child was born just four days earlier. By late September, over 226,700 Syrians had fled to neighbouring countries. UNICEF has requested US$123 million to fund its ongoing support for affected children both in and outside Syria. Less than 25 per cent has been received to date.
