“Earlier this morning, a bus came under attack in the capital Damascus. While the attack took place on a crowded street, UNICEF is not able to confirm if children were among those affected.
“Today’s violence is yet another reminder that the war in Syria has not come to an end. Civilians, among them many children, keep bearing the brunt of a brutal decade-long conflict.
“Attacks on civilians including children are a violation of international humanitarian law. Children should be able to reach their schools safely. We repeat our calls on those fighting that children are not a target. They should be protected at all times especially in times of conflict.”
