GENEVA — More than half of all children in Ukraine have been displaced from their homes since Russia launched its full-scale invasion on February 24, the United Nations says.
“One month of war in Ukraine has led to the displacement of 4.3 million children – more than half of the country’s estimated 7.5 million child population,” the UN children’s agency Unicef says in a statement, adding that 1.8 million children had fled the country as refugees and 2.5 million were now displaced inside Ukraine.
