A recent United Nations report has shed light on the escalating levels of violence against children in various conflict zones around the world. The report, focusing on Children in Armed Conflict, revealed a shocking 21% increase in grave violations against children under the age of 18 in regions such as Israel, the Palestinian territories, Sudan, Myanmar, and Ukraine.
Notably, the report included Israeli forces on the list of countries violating children's rights for incidents involving the killing and maiming of children, as well as attacks on schools and hospitals. Similarly, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad militants were also listed for the first time for their actions against children.
