Filipino 10 Syria’s bloody war, which has killed more than 220,000 people
and uprooted millions, began in 2011 as a conflict between Bashar al-
Assad’s government and the rebels fighting to overthrow him, with a

Even before the Conflict began, many Syrians were complaining

about the high unemployment, corruption and a lack of political
freedom under the president Bashar al-Assad, who succeeded his late

 Syrian rebels are the armed wing of the opposition movement
that emerged out of the 2011 uprising against the regime of President
Bashar al-Assad. They do not represent the whole of Syria’s diverse
opposition, but they stand on the frontline of Syria’s civil war. The
uprising has so far failed to produce a comprehensive political program
outlining Syria’s future. The rebels share a common goal of bringing
down Assad’s regime, but that about's it. The vast majority of Syria’s
political opposition says it wants a democratic Syria, and many rebels
agree in principle that the nature of the post-Assad system should be
decided in free elections.

The situation is also more complicated because other countries

have gotten involved in the conflict. The Syrian government’s key
supporter are Russia and Iran, while the US, Turkey and Saudi Arabia
back the rebels.
 Before the start of the civil war in March 2011, Syria was a
middle-income country that was able to adequately provide for its
people.
The Effects of war in Syria include mass destruction of cities and
have long lasting effects on a country's economy. Armed conflict have
important indirect negative consequences on, infrastructure, public
health provision, and social order. The economy of Syria may suffer
devastating impacts during and after a time of war.
Everyone agrees that conflicts impose huge costs on economies,
including massive destruction of infrastructure and housing,
disruption of trade, transport and production, not to mention the loss
of lives and widespread human suffering. The conflict in Syria has
damaged or destroyed about a third of the housing stock and about half
of medical and educational facilities, and led to economic losses.
In armed conflict, children are often deliberately targeted or not
protected adequately — or both. The lives of Syrian children have been
greatly affected by the conflict. Every day numerous violations of
children’s rights take place in areas such as health, education,
protection, etc. Syrian children are regularly exposed to
escalating violence and explosive weapon attacks.
Deliberate destruction of education facilities is a long-standing
feature of armed conflict. Schools can be seen as embodying state
authority; therefore, they are seen as a legitimate military target by
non-state actors. Syria has been heavily affected by attacks on
education, including attacks on students, teachers, and buildings,
targeted killings, and abductions.
In Syria, children may be sent away from their families to other
parts of the country or to neighboring countries to generate income,
avoid being recruited, or avoid being injured in the conflict. Families
that struggle to meet their basic needs are sometimes forced to put
their children out to work, marry their daughters early, or allow their
children to be recruited by armed groups. Children in Syria are not just
dying as a result of indiscriminate attacks on populated areas, but also
because they do not have access to basic medical care.
