Five Syrian schools have been attacked since October 11, the UN's children agency said Friday, October 28.

“Yesterday, when a school compound in Syria was repeatedly attacked, killing dozens of children and teachers, we thought we had seen the depths of depravity," UNICEF said in a statement.

“Today’s reports of attacks on schools in Douma and western Aleppo should deepen our disgust and outrage."

UNICEF promotes the rights and wellbeing of every child. Together with partners, the organization works in 190 countries and territories to translate that commitment into practical action, focusing special effort on reaching the most vulnerable and excluded children, to the benefit of all children, everywhere.
