Her body and face were severely burned when her house was shelled and a gas cylinder exploded next to her. “I was taken to hospital. I was awake and they treated me,” she recalls. “I was wearing wool clothes, like the ones I am wearing now, they got stuck to me. When they took me to the hospital, they were pulling them off my skin. It hurt so much, they didn’t even use anesthetic – they just pulled it off. ” Please stand with children like Wafaa, please stand [#WithRefugees]( She is just one victim of the brutal war in Syria which is approaching its sixth anniversary this month. Wafaa and her family are among 400,000 people displaced within Aleppo, much of which is destroyed beyond repair.
