At least 160 children died in attacks on schools in war-ravaged Syria last year and the education of 2.4 million has been cut short by the fighting, the UN said Tuesday. Schools should be "zones of peace", the UN children's agency said, adding that pupils needed to be allowed to study without risking death or injury. "There were at least 68 attacks on schools in Syria (in 2014), which killed at least 160 children and injured 343," Christophe Boulierac, spokesman for UNICEF told reporters in Geneva.
