Syria crisis: Refugee children 'face winter risks'

International charity Save the Children has warned 200,000 Syrian refugee children are at serious risk from freezing temperatures, as winter sets in the Middle East. Many families have fled across the borders to Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon. More than two million are displaced inside Syria, as fighting between government forces and rebels continues.

Save the Children says many are living without proper shelter and clothing and may not survive the harsh conditions.

The charity is launching an appeal for funds, saying the more vulnerable - the very young, the elderly and the sick - are most at risk if help does not reach them in time. Full article:
