Due to eight years of war, millions of Syrians have been forced to abandon their homes and communities, creating the largest refugee and displacement crisis of our time. More than 5.6 million have fled their country to become refugees and 6.1 million are displaced within Syria. Half of the people affected by the terrible results are children.
