Children in Shyrokyne in southeast Ukraine have not been able to go to school since September 2014 due to the shelling. On 26 March SMM monitors observed that the local kindergarten and school had been destroyed. Unexploded ordnance is a major threat to children in the area, and schools throughout the conflict zone have been badly damaged from fighting. Many children have been out of school for months.
