Celebrities help give a voice to Syrian children affected by civil war

'Enough is enough.'

The Syrian war has been raging since 2011, and while millions have fled the country over the past six years, there are still many being impacted on the ground — particularly children.

In an effort to rally support for children caught in the conflict, a host of celebrities join War Child UK, an organization whose aim is to protect and educate children in Syria and Yemen in the midst of war, to spread awareness and garner support for the little ones affected.

Jude Law, Nicole Scherzinger, Carey Mulligan, Michael McIntyre, Mumford and Sons' Marcus Mumford, Sam Smith and James Bay all joined together for the campaign and tell the story of Fatima, a 17-year-old Syrian girl. The video details her experience fleeing Syria and leaving behind her siblings to escape to Jordan.

"I want to tell the world what's happening in Syria," Nicole Scherzinger reads in Fatima's words. "I want to build my future and finish my education."

"It's time to say enough is enough," the celebrities repeat before Fatima herself makes a plea for those watching to help end the civil war in Syria.

Musicians like Coldplay and Florence Welch have shown their support for the campaign via Twitter. You can learn more about War Child UK's visions to support and protect children impacted by the Syrian war here.
