Watch: Giant puppet's European tour raises awareness of plight of child refugees


By AGENCY

A 3.5m (11.5 ft)-tall puppet depicting a Syrian refugee girl arrived in Geneva on Tuesday as part of an 8,000km walk across Europe to raise awareness of the plight of young refugees.

"Little Amal" - which means 'hope' in Arabic - started her journey on July 27 in Gaziantep, Turkey, near the Syrian border. After her stop in Geneva, she will continue toward her last stop in the northern English city of Manchester.
