 In a statement released UNICEF, it was verified that 1.106 children were killed last year, the highest annual death toll since the war broke out in 2011.

It warned, however, that the true figure was likely to be even higher.

"Today, there exists an alarming misconception that the conflict in Syria is drawing quickly to a close; it is not," executive director Henrietta Fore said in a statement.

"Children in parts of the country remain in as much danger as at any other time during the eight-year conflict."

The biggest cause of child casualties was unexploded ordnance, which accounted for 434 deaths and injuries last year, UNICEF said.

Syria's war has killed hundreds of thousands of people and driven millions out of the country, most of which was known to have been perpetrated or caused by the Syrian regime and it allies Iran, Hizbul Allah, Russia, Turkey, Kurds army and some rebel groups mostly supported by the Arabian states.

The demilitarization deal brokered in September was aimed at reducing Syrian regime pounding of civilians with bombs, yet this achieved insignificant results. As military actions against largely populated civilians town of Idlib have seen over 59 civilians killed in recent weeks, which was been a concerned toFore.

Since January, about 60 children have died trying to get to al-Hol camp in northeastern Syria, which is now home to more than 65,000 people fleeing the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ( ISIL or ISIS), according to the UN.

Thousands have flooded al-Hol camp as the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) lay siege to the last vestige of ISIL's territorial rule at the besieged village of Baghouz near the Iraqi border.

"Syria is still one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a child, with ongoing violence, insecurity and displacement," said Caroline Anning, spokeswoman for Save the Children.

"Even where conflict has subsided, the risk from explosive remnants of war like landmines and cluster munitions is growing."

A lots have been invested in the Syrian war in terms of weaponry, human resources, money, media coverage, biased accounting, reporting and prosecution have filled the air. Recently much attention is given to foreign western fighters and brides that went to join the  war, to aid and assist ISIS, most of whom were stripped of their western citizenship but fighters from Iran, Iraq, Bahrain, Europe, America that join, supported and perpetrated inhumane atrocities in the name of Assad, Kurds, Turks, Russians, Saudi and Americans received little or no media coverage and are allowed to return home and greeted as heroes and Veterans.
