 Children have the right to live a life free from violence and to live in peace, no matter where they are born or where they live. The number of casualties, far too many of them children, continues to rise. We urgently call for the violence to stop. Emergency aid must be delivered unimpeded. Children and their families must be allowed to seek safety. Humanitarian assistance must be scaled up to meet the demands of the crisis. Life-saving aid must not be withheld.
