At least 16% of children killed in Ukraine since invasion of russia He was less than five years old last February, Save the Children reported this Sunday.

The report recalls that between February 24 and August 10, “at least” 942 minors suffered the consequences of the war, of which 356 were killed and 586 were injured in this age group. United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.

Of the total number of deaths in Ukraine, 16.5% were under the age of five, and of the total number of injured, 13% were also in this average age.

The UN also warned that the total number of casualties was likely to be much higher, while saying that most of the confirmed deaths and injuries were caused by the use of explosive weapons in densely populated urban areas.

“Although children in Ukraine They have nothing to do with the causes of the war, they suffered the most. They grow up to the sound of bombs and see their homes and schools destroyed and their friends and relatives killed or injured,” Sonia Khush, director of Save the Children in Kyiv, said in a statement.

The activist insisted that the minors needed both “humanitarian aid and hope” to believe that “this war will end, that they will be able to return to their homes and that they will have a promising future.”

“Without meaningful support and an immediate cessation of hostilities, Ukraine will become not only a graveyard for more children, but also for the hopes and dreams of minors,” Hush added.

Save the Children collects in its report the testimony of 29-year-old Dana and her two-year-old daughter Antonia, who fled the city of Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine to protect themselves from the war in Dnipro, in the south of the country.
