UN officials will investigate the killing and wounding of children in Ukraine, Ethiopia and Mozambique, UN chief Antonio Guterres said on Monday in a report that found 2 515 children were killed and 5 555 maimed in global conflicts in 2021.

The annual “Children and Armed Conflict” report also verified the recruitment and use of 6 310 children in conflicts globally in 2021.

Guterres said next year’s report would include verified violations against children in Ukraine, Ethiopia and Mozambique. The children and armed conflict report includes a blacklist intended to shame parties to conflicts in the hope of pushing them to implement measures to protect children. Israeli security forces killed 78 Palestinian children, maimed another 982 and detained 637 Palestinian children in 2021, according to the report, while in Yemen the Saudi-led coalition killed and maimed 100 children last year.
