The Syrian boy who dresses as Spiderman

The civil war in Syria is almost six years old.

The vicious fighting among the various factions has led to more than 11 million people being forced from their homes. Almost half have left the country.

The International Medical Corps, a charity, has been interviewing some of those living in Turkey about what precious possession they grabbed before they fled - work funded by the European Union.

Among them, five-year-old Syrian refugee Nizar explains why wearing his Spiderman costume makes him feel strong.
