A global report into how much children are suffering in war-torn countries has revealed how worldwide conflict is becoming increasingly dangerous.

The Save the Children study showed girls are more at risk of gender-based violence while boys were more likely to be exposed to killings and abductions.

More than 400 million children are living in conflict zones around the world predominantly in the Middle East and Africa.

The toll this conflict can take on young lives has been exposed in the latest Save the Children report, 'Stop the war on children.'
