Syrians describe living in crossfire of brutal civil war

Season 2024 Episode 339 | 7m 23s

Since Syria's “Arab Spring,” protests devolved into a decade-plus bloodletting. Fleeing civilians have been caught in the crossfire between the Assad regime, its Russian and Iranian allies and the various opposition groups that have fought against them. As the conflict reignites, special correspondent Leila Molana-Allen reports on the victims of this war and its survivors.
