Children made up 44% of predominantly Rohingya refugees leaving Bangladesh and Myanmar by boat in 2024. About 460 people have taken to the sea so far in 2025 as the numbers continue to rise, Save the Children said. 
 

The conflict in Sudan has seen a major increase in intensity in recent weeks, with violence hitting a seven-month high in the country, with children on the frontline, said Save the Children. Violent incidents include airstrikes, artillery shelling, use of explosives and remote violence in multiple regions.
