According to Save the Children, about 468 million children—about one of every six young people on this planet—live in areas affected by armed conflict.
Verified attacks on children have tripled since 2010, with last year witnessing three times as many children killed by global conflicts as in 2022.
UN human rights chief Volker Türk commented, 'Killings and injuries of civilians have become a daily occurrence... Children shot at. Hospitals bombed.'
Between 2005 and 2023, more than 347,000 grave violations against youngsters were verified across over 30 conflict zones, as reported by UNICEF.
