Two years since the escalation of war in Ukraine, more than 10,500 civilians have been killed, including 587 children. Nearly 20,000 people have been injured, as constant bombardments, mines, and drone attacks have left a generation traumatized, displaced and fearful for their lives.
Millions of children are being forced to take shelter underground, as populated areas are still being targeted. Children have spent more than 900 hours hiding in bunkers across the country. The risk to their mental health and the potential for long-term trauma cannot be underestimated.
Explosions in urban centers severely damage residential houses, schools, hospitals, and other civilian objects, impairing access to basic items, healthcare and education.
