UN: 4-year old fleeing Syria found alone in Jordanian desert

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees reported on Monday that a 4-year old boy named Marwan was found in the Jordanian desert alone after being separated from his family while fleeing Syria.            

The UNHCR added that Marwan was later reunited with his family.

Syria's conflict started as largely peaceful protests against Assad in March 2011 but later degenerated into a civil war in which more than 140,000 people have been killed, according to activists.

The UN's human rights office said in January it has stopped updating the death toll from the war, confirming that it can no longer verify the sources of information that led to its last count of at least 100,000 in late July.

Millions have been driven out of their homes, seeking shelter in neighboring countries and in safer parts of their homeland.
