(ANSA) - ROME, FEBRUARY 20 - More than four children have been killed or injured a day since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
This is what emerges from the "A heavy toll" report published by Save The Children on the first year of the war. The toll refers only to cases actually verified but could be much higher, underlines the report, recalling that from February 2022 there there were at least 18,657 civilian victims according to UN data: a total of 7,110 dead and 11,547 injured. A great risk for over 2 million children are also mines and unexploded ordnance: "there are still millions of explosive war residues" (ANSA).
