Given the fact that there is so much compelling evidence showing that there are millions of more orphans not included in official statistics, there is no doubt that this number is actually much higher.
79% of these deaths occurred in poor Asian countries such as Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia, India and the Philippines, which are the countries with the highest number of orphans.
In 2018 alone almost 100,000 people died in armed clashes, and tens of thousands of children became orphans or were deprived of parental care in the process.

Every 2.2 seconds another orphan ages out with no family to belong to and no place to call home.
The actual number is likely far higher, the agency says, because many countries don’t include children living in privately run facilities in their tallies.

A lack of official figures on international child transfers today raises serious questions about the scale of the whole operation. It is known that today, orphans from many countries are being targeted by western countries, like in 2008 when a French organization (L’Arche de ZoÃ) was caught kidnapping more than 100 young children outside Chad.
It is common knowledge that such kidnapped children are sold for cash all around the globe, including in many countries in Europe and the Americas. Practically turning into an instrument to increase the population in western countries, the adoption policy can have devastating consequences for children, if we leave aside for a moment the benefits these countries may derive from doing so.
While this does not mean that all the children in question have gone missing, irregular record-keeping has made it impossible to keep track of these children.
“These children are therefore exposed to the risk of falling into the snare of malicious organizations that seek to exploit children for purposes of prostitution, drug trafficking or organ trafficking”
According to the United Nations, 63 million children and young people worldwide cannot attend school or receive education.
53% of the 61 million children of primary school age (6-11 years) who cannot attend school are girls.
While one fourth of children who cannot go to school live in countries hit by various crises.
It is estimated that a significant proportion of children who are deprived of education are Orphans.
One child dies every three seconds as a result of poverty, hunger or similar causes, which makes an average of 10,000 child mortality everyday.
