TOPSHOT - A Syrian child displaced from Ras al-Ain, a border town controlled by Turkey and its Syrian proxies, is pictured in a school turned into a shelter in the city of Hasakeh on April 5, 2020 in northeastern Syria. The novel coronavirus has put global trade on hold, placed half of the world population in confinement and has the potential to topple governments and reshape diplomatic relations. The United Nations has appealed for ceasefires in all the major conflicts rocking the planet, with its chief Antonio Guterres on Friday warning "the worst is yet to come". But it remains unclear what the pandemic's impact will be on the multiple wars roiling the Middle East. / AFP / Delil SOULEIMAN
