Paragraph
Paragraph text
Nevertheless, children continue to bear the brunt of today's conflicts. Violations of children's rights occur daily in new and deepening crises, often on a large scale. The challenges of delivering humanitarian assistance to children affected by conflict are often exacerbated by the difficulty of reaching populations displaced as a result of insecurity across different regions. Similarly, the cross-border recruitment of children has become a common trait in many conflict situations, deepening the protection crisis.
