Since the start of the conflict, more than 14,000 children have been killed or injured in Syria, according to UN data. Continued exposure to violence and the loss of caregivers have long-lasting negative effects on children's mental and psychosocial well-being.
The conflict has also had a devastating effect on the Syrian economy, pushing millions of people into poverty. Half of the primary care system is broken, and many families are forced to delay medical care or take long trips if they can afford it.
