'Battle-softened veteran' Martin Bell returns to Lebanon

The former ѿý broadcaster, Martin Bell, has returned to Lebanon, six years on from the start of the conflict in neighbouring Syria. He works as an ambassador for Unicef and says his trip has been both “depressing and inspiring”. He also describes how a group of Syrian children made him cry with a song they performed, in English, for his visit.

Millions of children have been left orphaned or homeless by the fighting in Syria.
