A lost generation

“As millions of children inside Syria and across the region witness their past and their futures disappear amidst the rubble and destruction of this prolonged conflict, the risk of them becoming a lost generation grows every day.”

UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake

In 2014, UNICEF plans to:

• Vaccinate 21 million children under 5

• Get 550,000 children back into education

• Provide psychological care for 690,000 children
