The tragedy of children in "hell on earth" Syria
(Baonghean.vn) - The massive, fierce bombardment attacks that lasted for 5 consecutive days at the end of February 2018 in Eastern Ghouta - the most fiercely fought area in Syria - turned this place into "hell" with the most haunting and horrifying scenes. Among them, children were the victims who suffered the most painful consequences.
