Over half of Ukrainian children displaced: UN

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 said Thursday.

“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,” said the UN children’s agency Unicef in a statement.

It added that 1.8 million children had fled the country as refugees and 2.5 million were now displaced inside Ukraine.
