Syria Civil War

The Syrian civil war is considered one of the worst conflicts in modern times.

With millions of refugees stranded around the world and an estimated nearly a half-million dead, the war shows no signs of ending soon. As the conflict is about to enter its eighth year, intense fighting continues in Eastern Ghouta and Afrin putting even more civilians in harms-way.
