Violence against children hit 'unprecedented levels' in 2024: UN

The United Nations said Thursday that violence against children in conflict zones reached "unprecedented levels" in 2024, setting a new grim record since monitoring began nearly 30 years ago.

"In 2024, violence against children in armed conflict reached unprecedented levels, with a staggering 25 percent surge in the number of grave violations in comparison with 2023," according to the annual report from the secretary-general.
