Bursting out on March 15, 2011, the Syria Civil War has lasted five years under intervention from many countries. The 5-year war brings hunger, death and displacement to Syrians. According to statistics released by the United Nations, the war has caused over 250,000 deaths, injured over 1 million people, deprived over 6.5 million people of their settlements and rendered nearly 4.5 people seek asylum out of Syria.

Russia and the U.S. reached a deal to enforce ceasefire in Syria on Feb. 22, 2016. Since the agreement came into effect on Feb. 27, the number of violent incidents has dramatically dropped. United Nations-mediated peace talks have started in Geneva between Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government and representatives of Syrian opposition factions on March 14, 2016.
