Judy: The united nations
security council is considering
the fate of the soul

Syria.
The only region not controlled
by the Syrian regime.
Millions of Syrian citizens
depend on that crossing for
assistance.
It keeps them alive.
At the crossing is scheduled to
close on Sunday.
The report begins in a displaced
persons camp near the
syrian-turkey border.
Reporter: In northwest Syria,
their childhood has been laid to
waste.
Children whose country has been
at war as long as they have been
alive pick through filth for
metal cans and plastic bottles.
They shoulder the burden of the
decade-long war trading scraps
of trash for scraps of food to
keep them alive.
Raz is nine years old.
>> We collect plastic to feed
our siblings.
We come to the dump to collect
plastic that we sell so we can
feed our siblings.
Reporter: Mohamed is 12.
>> I am here from morning to
night to sell them to make money
and buy food for our siblings.
When we come to the dump, the
smell crushes us we have to
bring food to our siblings.
Reporter: The desperation is
multigenerational.
It is back bending labor, but
other jobs are hard to come by.
And in this war, suns help
father's work and father's work
to keep their children alive.
>> Without this, I would not be
able to work.
If the eight stops, I will die
and so will my children.
May god relieve us.
Reporter: Everything here is a
family affair.
Without it, they would have
nothing.
>> This aid, if it closes down,
people will die of hunger.
Reporter: They depend on the
last remaining humanitarian
corridor.
It is the only entry point for
humanitarian agencies.

U.N. Says 12 million Syrians are
considered hungry.
This week, healthy humanitarian
workers rallied.
They say Russia holds control of
Syria's water and Syrian lives.
The doctor is the director of
the health.
>> Stopping aid would lead to a
health crisis.
At least 56 medical entities
would have to stop working and
serve 3 million people.
This topic of medical services
and vaccinations would lead to a
real disaster in northwestern
Syria.
Reporter: The Syrian
government's approach is already
triggered a food disaster.
The Syrian military is now it is
supposed to be harvest season
but this is the Syrian
government campaign.
It attacks target crops in
people's future.
The farms that were spared do
produce wheat.
The farmers themselves came from
homes and government held
territory and cannot feed their
families without help.
>> Today, we are struggling.
We left our vast lands and came
to this place.
Reporter: 2011, more than
300,000 Syrian civilians have
died.
The conflict has forced 13
million to flee their homes.
More than half of those remain
inside the country.
Many are at camp just miles from
the Turkish border.
In the summer heat, water is a
precious commodity.
There is too little formula for
the mouths she has to feed.
They are twins suffering from
fever, diarrhea, and a war that
they have nothing to do with.
>> Our situation is very
difficult, especially in the
summer and the heat.
It is expensive.
>> These children's fate could
lie with votes thousands of
miles away and have been born
into tents.
Their futures have been stolen.
For the pbs newshour, I'm Nick
sure.
