They have been forced to leave everything behind: Their homes, their schools, and often, their family members,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Fontaine added that the situation remains grim for many of the children who have remained in their homes across Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf the 3.2 million children estimated to have remained in their homes, nearly half may be at risk of not having enough food. Attacks on water system infrastructure and power outages have left an estimated 1.4 million people without access to water in Ukraine.\u00a0 Another 4.6 million people have only limited access.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe situation is even worse in cities like Mariupol and Kherson, where children and their families have now gone weeks without running water and sanitation services, a regular supply of food, and medical care. They are sheltering in their homes and underground, waiting for the bombs and violence to stop,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>As of Sunday, the deaths of at least 142 children and the injuries of 229 children had been verified, though the totals will likely increase.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs of yesterday, OHCHR has verified 142 children killed and 229 children injured.\u00a0 We know these numbers are likely much higher \u2014 and many of them were caused by crossfire or the use of explosive weapons in populated areas,\u201d Fontaine noted.<\/p>\n<p>Ukrainian Ambassador to the U.N. Sergiy Kyslystsya claimed that Russia has taken more than 121,000 children out of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe said most of the children were removed from the besieged southern port city of Mariupol and taken to eastern Donetsk and then to the Russian city of Taganrog,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-united-nations-europe-bc4bfede3b3e3079fe79d783eb0816d0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to<\/a> the Associated Press.
