In this Thursday, March 27, 2014 photo, Reem Diab, 34, who lost her leg on Oct. 25, 2012 when a shell slammed into her house in the town of Khan Sheikoun in central Syria, holds her artificial leg in Chtaoura, in the Bekaa valley, east of Lebanon. The shelling killed her husband, Mustafa, and her 15-year-old daughter, Batoul. Syria’s civil war, which entered its fourth year last month, has killed more than 140,000 people. An often overlooked figure is the number of wounded more than 500,000, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross. An untold number of those, there’s no reliable estimate even, have suffered traumatic injuries that have left them physically handicapped. (AP Photo/Bilal Hussein)
