‘Open Your Eyes to the Crisis in Syria’
In the midst of the Syrian civil war’s third winter, UNICEF UK has released a celebrity-filled video featuring the likes of actor Ewan McGregor and singer Emma Bunton urging viewers not to turn a blind eye to the humanitarian crisis in Syria.
According to UNICEF, close to six million Syrian children are in need of aid, including over one million in refugee camps – a “lost generation” of youth cast by the country’s ongoing unrest.
The UK government is pledging a pound for pound match of all donations to UNICEF until the end of January 2014. Watch the video below:
