“Serious” violations of children’s rights in the Mozambican province of Cabo Delgado increased fourfold in the first half of 2024, compared to the whole of 2023, according to data released by the United Nations Children’s Fund.
The United Nations Children’s Fund also said that the year 2024 was “devastating” for children in conflict, “with the violation of their rights and the making of excuses”, adding that “this has to stop”.
