In recent weeks, I, like so many others, have watched, reluctantly, yet another crisis in yet another conflict in yet another country unfold. Innocent civilian populations caught between two sides jostling for territorial position and political gains which only ever serve to bring forth more death and destruction.

They possess an innate sense of protection for their offspring, and all children.
