SYRIA-CONFLICT-HEALTH-DISABILITY

A picture taken on February 16, 2017 shows the hearing aid set of mute 17-year-old Syrian Adnan, who lost both legs in 2014 following an airstrike as he was walking towards his father's store from school, in the rebel-held town of Douma, on the outskirts of the capital Damascus. Many children in Eastern Ghouta suffer directly from Syria's brutal conflict, with hundreds having lost limbs amid years of fighting and aerial bombardments. UNICEF's latest estimates suggest that there are now one million Syrian children either living under siege or in areas of the country that are hard-to-reach because of intense violence. In a 2014 report the Syria Humanitarian Assistance and Response Plan estimated that 60 per cent of Syrian hospitals have been destroyed or damaged, making it even more difficult for civilians to receive proper medical treatment.
