Commissioner: Since the beginning of the Russian invasion in Ukraine, 90 children have died and about 100 children have been injured

As of 10 a.m. on March 14, 2022, according to the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations, as well as other sources that need confirmation, 90 children have died and about 100 children have been injured since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began.

It is not possible to establish the actual number of dead and wounded children due to the fact that the occupying forces are actively fighting in Ukrainian cities.  Many children who cannot receive emergency medical care remain trapped.

It became known about the burial of Met Irina, born in 1980, and her son Met Ivan, born on December 4, 2009, in the yard of a residential building in Irpin who died during the shelling of the city by the occupiers.

One of the pregnant women who suffered an air strike on a maternity hospital in Mariupol on March 9, 2022, died today together with an unborn child.

The shelling of the civilian population of the Izium district of the Kharkiv region continues again.  Cars were shot at by the occupiers at a checkpoint, killing a woman with a child and a family with a 3-year-old child.

A 15-year-old girl died in the town of Dergachi, Kharkiv Oblast, after night shelling.

After each air raid and shelling, the enemy leaves ruins in the months of ordinary houses, schools, hospitals, kindergartens:

• Inclusive school №256 was damaged as a result of the morning shelling in Obolon, Kyiv.  At that time, there were 13 people in the school's bomb shelter;

• the shell damaged the Chernihiv City Hospital;

• In the village of Vysokopillya, Kherson Oblast, russian troops fired from rocket-propelled grenade launchers at a preschool.

Such actions by the armed forces of the Russian Federation continue to violate the fundamental rights of children - the right to life and health, guaranteed to every child in the world by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

I call on the international community and international human rights organizations to take all possible measures to end the military attack on the Russian Federation.

I insist, NATO countries - close the sky !!
