Aid agency GOAL marks Syria conflict with 'unexploded rocket' near Stephen's Green

Irish aid agency GOAL has placed an unexploded rocket on a Dublin city centre street, to raise awareness about the ongoing conflict in Syria.

Millions of people have been displaced and around 250,000 people have been killed in the conflict over the past five years.

GOAL placed the rocket in the pavement on a street near Stephen's Green.

The aid agency say that the refugee crisis will continue until a lasting deal for peace is struck in Syria.
