"More than five children per day killed or injured by explosive ordnance globally" — ReliefWeb Updates · Humanitarian & Biosphere
A new report from Save the Children finds that on average more than five children are killed or injured every day worldwide by , including , unexploded bombs, and increasingly by weaponized and AI-guided munitions. The report warns that modern warfare technologies are creating new threats to children and disrupting access to schools and healthcare.
The claim is based on a report by Save the Children, a reputable humanitarian organization that typically draws on verified incident data from conflict zones. The ReliefWeb summary is a secondary source, but the underlying primary source is the organization's own research, lending the figure reasonable credibility, though the exact methodology and data scope are not detailed in the snippet.
This is genuinely new reporting from September 17, 2026, based on a freshly released Save the Children report.
