Violations against children in conflict reach ‘extreme levels’, UN says
Violence against children caught in multiplying and escalating conflicts reached “extreme levels” in 2023 with an unprecedented number of killings and injuries, including in the occupied Palestinian territory, a United Nations report has found.
Children were “killed and maimed in unprecedented numbers in devastating crises”, notably in the Gaza Strip, according to the report released by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres earlier this month.
The Security Council held a debate on the findings on Tuesday with former Secretary General Ban Ki Moon calling for accountability.
