⚠️ Important caveats

• Many figures exclude areas that are inaccessible due to active fighting or occupation. So “verified” figures are very likely lower than reality.
  
• Some infrastructure counts combine “damaged” + “destroyed” which makes precise distinction difficult.
  
• Some numbers are specific to certain dates or partial periods; the war continues and new damages happen daily.
  
• For “day-care centres / kindergartens” the data is more limited and less granular.
  
• These statistics are not always broken down by “how many children died specifically in schools or hospitals being hit” vs. “how many civilians died in general”.
