800,000 children among 2 million fleeing Ukraine

800,000 children are among the two million people who have fled Ukraine

Save The Children says an estimated 800,000 children are among the two million people who have fled Ukraine after Russia's invasion began.

Qazet.az reports that many of them are making the trip on their own, and arriving unaccompanied, the agency has warned.

“Parents are resorting to the most desperate, heart-breaking measures to protect their children. This includes sending their children away with neighbours and friends, to seek safety outside of Ukraine, while they stay home to protect their homes,” said Irina Saghoyan from the NGO.
