Cut me to pieces!

This post is part of a special series of articles by blogger and activist Marcell Shehwaro, describing the realities of life in Syria during the ongoing armed conflict between forces loyal to the current regime, and those seeking to oust it. I should have cried. This is the only thing that goes through my head over and over again when I remember the little girl that was torn into pieces.

Even though no one ever remembers to mention them, there are thousands of children suffering from serious mental illnesses caused by the terror of constant bombing, or, worse, by the sight of their parents or siblings being torn apart by the explosions.
