Caring strangers gave up their jackets, jumpers and scarves to help a young boy freezing at a bus stop in Norway.

The social experiment was set up by the SOS Mayday action network to raise awareness about the thousands of children suffering in war-torn Syria.

It involved an 11-year-old boy – an actor – telling commuters his jacket had been stolen to see how they would react.

‘We tested the kind-heartedness of the Norwegian people,’ the group explains on its website.

‘The situation for children in Syria is difficult. They live in fear and the nights are very cold.

‘Most live in inhuman conditions, many in broken homes without heating.



‘To help children in areas around Damascus and Aleppo, we give out winter jackets that they will not freeze at night.’

The group hopes the video inspires people to donate what they can to help children in Syria.
