UNICEF reported that more than one in six children globally, approximately 473 million, live in areas affected by conflict, highlighting the severe risks they face.
Catherine Russell emphasized that 2024 is on track to become one of the worst years for children in conflict zones, affected by unprecedented levels of violence.
The number of children living in conflict areas has doubled since the 1990s, with almost 19 percent of children now growing up in war-torn regions.
UNICEF’s data showed a record 32,990 grave violations against children this year, signaling a concerning upward trend in violence against this vulnerable population.
