Syrian youths work at a scrapyard in the Turkish-controlled northern city of al-Bab, on November 18, 2021. After a decade of war, an estimated 2.5 million children in Syria are out of school with another 1.6 million at risk of dropping out, according to the UN's children agency UNICEF. As it marked World Children's Day on November 20, the agency estimated that nine in ten children live in poverty and more than 5,700 children – some as young as seven – were recruited into the fighting.
