Though, officials estimate that roughly half of those killed are women and children. Thes figures are widely considered a reliable estimate by the United Nations and numerous independent observers.
It’s important to remember that behind each number is a life lost,a family shattered,and a future stolen. If you’re looking for ways to help,consider supporting reputable humanitarian organizations working on the ground.
