The Syrian civil war has entered its sixth year. It’s been labeled the humanitarian crisis of our time, but 2016 specifically was a wretched year for Syrian children: 652 of them died last year, a 20 percent rise on the previous year. Three million Syrian children under age 6 have never even known life outside a state of war.

A lot of this feels abstract for those without personal experience, so Save the Children worked with photographer Nick Ballon and conceptual animator Alma Haser to produce a photo and video series that makes abstractions visible.
