A UNICEF report highlights that over 473 million children globally lived in conflict-affected areas in 2023, a significant increase from the 1990s. The report details a record number of grave violations against children in 2023, with over 5,300 killed and 6,300 maimed. The number of children displaced by conflict is also rising, with projections indicating an increase in 2025 due to intensifying global conflicts. Modern warfare increasingly targets civilians, making children vulnerable.
