UNICEF reports that in Syria, over 100 children were killed or injured last month by unexploded ordnance (UXO) from the ongoing conflict. With nearly 324,000 UXOs scattered across the country, an estimated five million children live in at-risk areas. The agency calls for increased demining efforts and mine-risk education to protect children, citing the urgent need for tens of millions of dollars in funding to save lives and aid reconstruction.
