My Comment:  While the world leaders volley for recognition and power this is what is happening in Syria!  Pray for the people of Syria, pray for our Brother’s & Sisters in Christ, pray for the CHILDREN!

Eleven-year-old Ahmed’s singed hair is matted with dirt and blood.

Flesh peels from the burns that cover his body, hands and face. His expression is blank, frozen with shock, but the brown eyes that stare up from above his mangled cheeks and cracked lips, are wide with fear. He tries to lie perfectly still under the covers of the bed in the makeshift clinic, but, despite his efforts, his small body quivers and trembles uncontrollably.

Ahmed is the collateral damage of the Syrian war; one of hundreds of thousands of civilians, more than half of them children, who have been maimed or made homeless in almost three years of conflict.

The Russia-US brokered deal for the Syrian regime to give up its chemical weapons has been heralded as the most significant diplomatic breakthrough yet in the conflict.

But it does little to address the use of conventional weaponry – air strikes, Scud missiles and artillery – that has already taken the death toll to more than 100,000.
