UNICEF has published a report on displaced children around the world.
 
"The increase in the number of displaced children is associated with disasters caused by conflict, crisis and climate change around the world," Catherine Russell, UNICEF Executive Director says.
 
It was noted in the report that most of the displaced children spent their entire childhood in this way.
 
"The number of forcibly displaced children has doubled in the last 10 years," the report said.
 
It was stated in the report that the war in Ukraine forcibly displaced 2 million children, and 1 million children were internally displaced.
 
In the report, it was stated that 60 percent of 43.3 million children were displaced as a result of conflict and violence, while the number of children seeking asylum reached 17.5 million.
 
In the report, which stated that 940,000 children have already been displaced due to the conflict in Sudan, it was noted that extreme weather events also displaced millions of children.
