There are over one million child refugees because of the war in Syria. The United Nations this number "a shameful ". The children were forced to leave Syria because it is too for them to stay in the country. Most of them are in Jordan, Turkey and Lebanon. They have started escaping to Europe and North Africa. The United Nations said: "This one child refugee is not just another . This is a real child ripped from home, maybe even from a family, horrors we can only begin to comprehend." Another 2 million children in Syria have no . Half of Syria's 2 million refugees are children. Over 740,000 of these are the age of eleven.

Syria's war started in March 2011. The UN says it is the worst refugee for 20 years. The last as bad as Syria was the 1994 in Rwanda. The UN high commissioner for refugees, Antonio Guterres, told reporters: "The youth of Syria are losing their homes, their family and their futures. Even after they have crossed a to safety, they are traumatised, depressed and in need of a for hope." The UN warned the world that the children face dangers. Many are now used illegally for child labour. Others are sold for early or for the sex trade. Very few of the children can go to any kind of school. The UN said just 118,000 of the children are education.
