The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) said Wednesday that at least 2 million children have been forced to flee Ukraine amid the ongoing Russian invasion.
UNICEF and the U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHR) said in a statement that children make up half of all refugees from the ongoing conflict that has continued for over a month.
The agency stated that more than 1.1 million children have found refuge in the neighboring countries of Poland, Romania, Moldova, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
