Original Note:
The UN openly acknowledge challenge of counting deaths in war zones, and that official casualty numbers in other conflicts are significantly understated (e.g. Ethiopia, Ukraine, Sudan, Syria). By implication child deaths are understated too & statistic is flawed. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/05/03/tigray-ethiopia-casualty-death-ukraine-russia/ https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/ethnic-killings-one-sudan-city-left-up-15000-dead-un-report-2024-01-19/ https://www.worldpressphoto.org/collection/photo-contest/2023/Evgeniy-Maloletka/10 https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/syria-civilian-death-toll-over-306000-since-2011-un-2022-06-28/ https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/06/1121532 https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/documents/issues/casualtyrecording/cfis/hrc-res-50-11/subm-casualty-recording-academia-ghent-university-51.docx
