Syrian refugees arrive at the Jordanian border with Syria and Iraq, close to Amman, Jordan.

The war in Syria, now in its seventh year, has caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. 

It's also created vast numbers of children who have been scarred or orphaned by the conflict.

Children whose lives have been blighted, possibly forever.

Some of those who have lost one or both parents are now in Jordan, where they are receiving treatment.

TRT World's Francis Collings reports from the capital, Amman.
