Scarred for life:

 Syria's children left horrifically injured by bombs, including a six-year-old boy whose legs were blown off, are pictured in harrowing portrait series in Turkey

• Defiant young victims of Syrian civil war stare at the camera in photographs highlighting child injuries
• One boy, Mohammed Lamut, has two prosthetic legs after bomb blast in Idlib eight months ago
• The children are now with family or in orphanages in Turkey, but the war has claimed 17,411 children's lives 

Mohammed Lamut, pictured left, had both of his legs blown off after an explosion in Idlib eight months ago but the six-year-old was saved and given two prosthetic limbs by a charity. Right, nine-year-old Diana Mohammed, who was in a refugee camp in the Syrian city of Azez when it was bombed in 2015. She now lives in an orphanage in Turkey

These are the faces of the brave Syrian children who have been forced to start new lives after suffering devastating injuries in their country's civil war.

The victims - some as young as six - have been photographed in Turkey after fleeing the carnage in their homeland.

One boy had both his legs blown off after an explosion in Idlib eight months ago, while one of the girls was left with a severely scarred face after being hit by a barrel bomb in Aleppo five years ago.

The children in the series are now in Gaziantep in southern Turkey, where they are being cared for by surviving family members, orphanages or charities.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, 321,358 people have been killed during the war - including 17,411 children.
