The report calls on the global community to undertake five critical steps to protect a vital generation of children.
- End violations of children’s rights;
- Lift sieges and improve humanitarian access inside Syria;
- Secure US$ 1.4 billion in 2016 to provide children with learning opportunities;
- Restore children’s dignity and strengthen their psychological wellbeing; and
- Turn funding pledges into commitments. UNICEF has received only 6 per cent of the funding required in 2016 to support Syrian children both inside the country and those living as refugees in neighbouring countries.
