Around the world, as many as one child in five is living in an area affected by conflict. Every day bombs destroy children’s homes, schools and hospitals. Their friends are shot and injured. Their family members are killed.
There isn’t anywhere they feel safe. Not at home. Not at school. Not on the streets where they used to play. Not even in hospital.
