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, takes off her artificial leg with the help of her relative, right, in Chtaoura, in the Bekaa valley, 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)

FILE - In this Wednesday, March 12, 2014, file photo, Kim Kardashian attends The Kardashian Family Celebrates the Grand Opening of DASH Miami Beach, in Miami Beach, Fla. Kim Kardashian has waded into the unlikely waters of Syria's civil war, calling on her supporters to save the ancient Armenian village of Kassab, whose residents fled as rebels seized control of the hamlet in late March, seemingly comparing their flight to the Armenian genocide of the early twentieth century. Her tweet prompted an onslaught of gory images of beheaded men, slain bodies and smashed churches that social media followers incorrectly attributed to the Kassab battle. In doing so, the world's most famous woman of Armenian descent, underscored how Syria's war, more than any other in history, has been waged on the internet. (Photo by Omar Vega/Invision/AP, File)
