None of us can ever begin to imagine the constant drama and suffering the Syrian people face on a daily bases. The constant reminders are the common bomb attacks that destroy homes; the violent shootings that take too many innocent lives some far too young.

Some Syrian people leave out of fear and desperation but surviving the journey is even a greater challenge. Traveling by foot with absolutely no money, no clean water or food, just a bag is what most Syrian people have to do.

They go days on end without food in their systems, some even come down with sickness and others never even make it due to the constant gun downs that happen. Even when the Syrian people try to leave they can never escape the violence that follows them.

“Every 15 seconds, a Syrian becomes a refugee,” according to CNN’s Jethro Mullen, and with the number rising at a rapid rate The United Nations refugees agency says ‘’The number of Syrians who have fled their war-ravaged country has now risen to more than two million, a year ago, that number was 230,671.”

Meaning there will be about two to three million men, women and children without a place to go. Syrian children are the most defenseless in all of this being robbed of their own childhood due to the Syrian conflict.

The Syrian children are forced to be separated from family and friends and have even put their education aside. According to The United Nations the number of Syrian children refuges has reached a now one million, and some seven thousand children have been killed due to the violence.

With numbers rising Syria has become “The Great Tragedy of The Century a disgraceful humanitarian calamity with suffering and displacement unparalleled in recent history,” Antonio Guterres, The United Nations High Commissioner for refugees, stated.

This has been going on for almost five years and just in recent years the violent activities have sparked to alarming heights. Starvation is a weapon in this war that began as an uprising against the dictator Bashar Hafez al-Assad.

If things continue this way it’s possible Syria could lose a generation of children due to starvation and violence, yet some hold on to their faith and hope that in some way the suffering will end but hope is quickly demising for many and faith is falling apart.

An example of this is Kobani, Syria. According to CNN’s Ashley Fantz “ Two-year old Aylan Kurdi was born into a country eaten up by war. His parents, Abdullah and Rehen, only wanted a better life for Aylan and his 4-year old brother Galip, trying to make that simple but treacherous dream a reality, Aylan, his brother and mother drowned, an image of the boy’s body on a Turkish beach shook social media”.

Abdullah the only family member to survive say’s “ I don’t want anything else from the world” he told CNN “ Everything I was dreaming of is gone”. But this only shows a glimpse of the horrific reality many Syrians are faced with but there are still many more stories to be told and some that will never be heard.
