50 millioner børn på flugt fra krig og fattigdom
Krig, klimaforandringer, vold og fattigdom har fået 50 millioner børn over hele verden til at forlade deres hjem. Det viser en ny rapport fra UNICEF, der også fastslår, at antallet af børn på flugt fra krig er fordoblet siden 2005, samt at et stigende antal børn flygter alene. Rapporten opfordrer verdens ledere til at tage affære og yde beskyttelse til børnene, for som UNICEF’s udviklingschef, Ted Chaiban, siger: ”Det, der er vigtigt, er, at de her børn på flugt er børn. Og de bør blive behandlet som børn.”

A year ago, the tragic death of a three-year-old Syrian boy shocked Europe as an unprecedented crisis saw hundreds of thousands of migrants and refugees arrive on the continent. Aylan is one of some 3, 700 people who die trying to reach Europe in 2015, including his mother and his brother, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
