Malala and Gordon Brown launch Syria appeal
Schoolgirl campaigner Malala Yousafzai and former prime minister Gordon Brown have helped launched a campaign to find 300,000 school places for Syrian children forced to flee to Lebanon.
The two have joined with education charity A World at School to support a $500 million (£320 million), three-year plan to provide emergency education and food for displaced children in Lebanese schools.
Malala and Mr Brown, a UN Special Envoy, launched a worldwide petition to persuade leaders to back the plan.
Malala also spoke via Skype to Zahra and Om Kolthoum Katou, twin Syrian girls who crossed the border to Lebanon, in a bid to offer them hope and support.
