White Helmets in Syria – level 1

02-03-2018 15:00

Syria’s war is still happening. Ghouta is an area in Syria. Many bombs explode there. More than 500 civilians die.

There is a video that shows White Helmet members. They look for survivors after a bomb explodes in Ghouta.

The UN Security Council wants to help people in Syria. It tries to make a deal. This deal can help stop the fighting for some time.

Difficult words: civilian (a person who is not a soldier), White Helmet (a person who helps people after bombings in Syria), the UN Security Council (a group of people from around the world who want to help with problems around the world).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
