Since February 24, scores of children have been killed in Ukraine. Many more have been injured and more than 1.5 million children have fled the country.
Putting this last statistic another way, on average, every day in Ukraine from the start of the war, more than 75,000 children have become refugees. Every day.
This last number is particularly shocking. Every single minute, 55 children have fled their country.
That is, a Ukrainian child has become a refugee almost every single second since the start of the war.
This refugee crisis is in terms of speed and scale, unprecedented since the Second World War, and is showing no signs of slowing down.”
