No child should be targeted. We condemn, Australia condemns, the targeting of children. We have consistently done so through this conflict and through other conflicts. We take these reports very seriously. We have consistently advocated for the rights and protection of children, including as a longstanding member of the Group of Friends on Children and Armed Conflict. Later today, we will speak, Australia will speak, at the United Nations Security Council in relation to the rising violence against children in situations of armed conflict.
