When grown-ups in Syria weren't getting along and fighting, many cities and towns were affected. People were angry and confused, they disagreed about what was the right thing to do and how to fix the problems. Things became very dangerous and scary for the people who lived there. There were explosions, gunshots, and people were killed or injured.
Some cities and towns were controlled by the government, while others were controlled by opposition groups who fought against the government. These groups often disagreed with each other as well, which made things even more complicated.
People who lived in these cities and towns had to leave their homes and belongings behind to escape the violence. They became refugees and went to other places that were safer, but they had to deal with other problems like finding food and shelter.
The cities and towns that were affected during the Syrian civil war suffered a lot, and it will take a long time for them to heal and recover.
