Scarred faces of Innocent Little Children in War Zones

Syrian girls Rahaf and Kamar show a picture of themselves before they were injured during the violence in their country.
 
 Heartbreaking pictures that show the scarred faces of the children who have become the innocent victims of war as conflict in the Middle East continues to rise.

Three-year-old Rahaf and four-year-old Kamar were asleep at home with their family in Homs, Syria, when the government shelled the house.


Rahaf's face and hands were badly burned as the building caught fire, while Kamar's legs and hands and most of her face were similarly injured.

They are now being cared for in Jordan by Medicins Sans Frontieres, where they play quietly with children like 13-year-old Kheta, who has to wear a special mask after most of her face was burnt in a car explosion at Fallujah, Iraq.

Rahaf and Kamar have had multiple reconstructive surgries  and now attend daily therapy sessions which is run by Medicins Sans Frontieres alongside dozens of other refugees


The two girls play with Khetam from Iraq, who has also fled violence in her country and is being cared for in Amman
