armed conflict

The British army has been accused of trying to exploit teenagers who lack self-confidence after launching their 2020 recruitment campaign. 

Some five million African children have been killed by conflict-related disease or hunger in the last 20 years.

Over the last five years, more than 14,000 armed attacks on education took place in 34 conflict-affected countries that suffer these attacks systematically, new and updated data from the Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack found.

Nearly 1.2 million children continue to live in active conflict zones, says UNICEF.
