The UN has given warning that hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugee children are vulnerable in their new homes, exposed to dangerous exploitation and at risk of missing out on an education. A report published by the UN refugee agency UNHCR says children as young as seven have to work to provide for their families. According to the study, children represent 52 per cent of the total Syrian refugee population, which now exceeds 2.2 million, and 75 percent of them are under the age of 12.
