Unexploded Ordinance: Children and Land Mines

unexploded ordinance: Of Syria's estimated 10 million children, 8.6 million are now in dire need of assistance, up from about half a million after the first year of war, according to CTV. Nearly 6 million children are displaced or living as refugees, and about 2.5 million are out of school. The numbers speak for themselves. Over 3 million children are exposed to the hazards of unexploded ordinance and land mines, even in areas where the conflict has died down. While the UN has verified about 2,500 children killed between 2014 and 2017, it says the actual numbers are far higher. Some 40 per cent of those killed by land mines are children.
