The statement revealed that 15,000,000 children suffer from the criminal behavior practiced by the militia all that time, where children were killed, kidnapped, detained, and raped, And occupied civilian objects of children in the countryside and cities, and the seizure of medicine and food, which caused children to be displaced, seek asylum, and suffer from malnutrition.
