The news about the deaths of children killed in the midst of the on-going war which started in 2015, and sees no time limit because of the different and incessant factions jockeying for power - although there was a truce from 2 April till 2 October through two-months renewals but no more - the internet is rife with the death and injury of children and which seem to be on a daily basis.
The social media has been relaying posts about the war and its comparison with the ongoing World Cup in Qatar.
