Let that sink in: more than 100 million children are now impacted by the escalating conflict across the Middle East and wider region. Nearly 200 children have been killed in the first five days. This is the most expansive regional escalation in decades, affecting at least 15 countries. Homes, schools, and hospitals are being destroyed, and children are facing growing risks of injury, trauma, exploitation, and abuse. Children do not start wars, yet they always pay the highest price. Children must be off limits in war. https://lnkd.in/dey_ecm4
