78. Syria: 200,000 people dead and 11 million displaced. Video from International Rescue Committee

The conflict in Syria is about to hit another grim milestone. As the war hits its 4-year mark on March 15, [2015] humanitarian needs have never been greater. Half of all Syrians have been forced from their homes by the fighting. Nearly 4 million of them have fled to neighboring countries that are struggling to cope with the influx of refugees.

Satellite images show that 83 percent of the lights have gone out in Syria since the conflict began, plunging streets, homes and hospitals into darkness.
