In recent days, several apartment buildings and hospitals have been struck, while neighbourhoods have been wiped out, leaving bodies trapped under rubble.

UNICEF spokesperson James Elder said scores of children were killed and many more injured since the Russian invasion began on February 24.

"Children I encountered were deeply stressed, deeply sad, many of them traumatised," he said.
