UNICEF has recently warned of an increased risk of child trafficking and exploitation. The UN agency, in an effort to eliminate these risks is adding ‘specific points’ that are safe for the movement of children.
During 1 month of war, UNICEF reports that there are more than 100 children killed and more than 130 wounded. More than 2.5 million children have been displaced inside Ukraine.
