CHILDREN experienced the highest number of “grave violations” in conflicts verified by the United Nations in 2022, the UN children’s agency said on Wednesday.
The United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef) said that conflicts in the Palestinian occupied territories, Congo and Somalia were placing the most children in peril.
Unicef also expressed particular concern about the plight of children in Haiti, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Mozambique and Ukraine, where Russia has been put on a UN blacklist.
