More than 12.000 kids died or suffered mutilations during 2018 due to war effects. According to the Annual report of the United Nations General Organization for Children and Armed Conflicts published on Tuesday more than 24.000 children had their rights violated while other 12.000 where killed or mutilated, mostly by crossfire explosives or battle. This numbers are causing a lot of preoccupation in the organization after they noticed it is the highest number in history. Also other 7000 kids were involuntarily recruited for war during this same year around the world, mostly in Africa. I think that all this conflicts are a shame but is way worse that children that don’t have anything to do with this and that can’t defend themselves are suffering because of the action of others. What do you think?
