(MENAFN) Using social media, Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo has drawn attention to Syrian children as he wrote on Twitter on Tuesday "Be strong. Have faith. Never give up."
He also shared video footage about an attack against civilians in Syria's Eastern Ghouta in February 2018.
According to UN officials, to date hundreds of thousands of people have been killed in the seven-year conflict.
The Real Madrid footballer works with children rights NGO Save the Children; he donated food, clothes and medical aid to families affected by the conflict in Syria.
In February, Ronaldo also shared a photo on Twitter to support Rohingya children.
"One world where we all love our children. Please help. #Rohingya #Refugee," he wrote, adding a link to the Save the Children website for online donations.
Eastern Ghouta, which is home to some 400,000 people, has witnessed deadly violence over the past few days, with foreign-sponsored terrorists launching mortar attacks on the Syrian capital in the face of an imminent humiliating defeat.
Western powers, however, blame the Syrian government and Russia for the crisis.
