Syria - Some 10 Photos Of The Year 2013

December is incomplete without the year's top-10 lists. We like top-10 lists, because we are lazy and we would love it if someone told us what are the top 10 movies, photos, and whatnot. TIME's top 10 photos of 2013 includes a terrible photo (see ti.me/18hsPgn) from Syria. Let aside the absurd usage of the word 'top' in this context, how on earth one can represent a humanitarian tragedy that affects more than 5 million children in such a photo! Who said we need to show photos of burning bodies and children starving to death to move our fellow humans? Here's a list of some, not top, 10 random photos of Syrian children.

If you want to act, you can donate to aid agencies and write to your politicians to make them act.
