In every war, it would always be children who suffer the most. This is heartbreaking, thank you for sharing it.

Thanks for reading. We feel that this aspect is often swept under the rug in the midst of the conflict, and is only brought to the forefront after the conclusion of hostilities, and it is important that we not forget them and do everything we can to prevent further bloodshed, not mourn them after the fact.

~Among the most vulnerable are children, many of whom are barely 10 years old. They bear no responsibility for the conflict's outbreak but endure its harshest consequences~

This is unfortunately true for all conflicts throughout history, and to see it today in vivid colors and surround sound drives home this point even more. But counterintuitively, we tend to harden ourselves against these images, which results in stark polarization amongst the people, and the innocents trapped within these conflicts don’t get heard or the help they need most.

Thanks for reading, and good point. Browsing the internet and forums, its worrying to see how people are willing to overlook the suffering of others in favour of their own sides. This trend is only getting worse as time goes by.
