Syria opposition urges protection on UN Children's Day

"Dozens of children have been subjected to horrific acts of torture. Some of them died, others have become permanently disabled.
"Four million children have been affected and 40 percent of Syria's children are deprived of education.
"The Syrian National Coalition calls on all international organisations involved in child protection to work to end the human suffering, which has affected all aspects of life for Syrian children and threatens their future."
The UN says half of Syria's more than 2.2 million refugees are children.
