Abstract	Children are among the most vulnerable victims of war, which has terrible repercussions that go well beyond the battlefield. Every element of a child's life is disrupted when they are exposed to armed conflict. Over 10% of children worldwide are impacted by armed situations. The impact of armed conflict on children's physical health and development is poorly understood, despite the abundance of research on mental health. The current and historical research on how armed war affects children's health and development is compiled in this comprehensive review. In actuality, we are just now starting to understand how armed conflict both encourages and intensifies child labour. Through an analysis of current literature, international reports, and human rights viewpoints, this paper investigates the complex effects of war on children. It draws attention to the difficulties that children in conflict areas encounter, such as disrupted schooling, child labour, enlistment in armed groups, starvation, and restricted access to basic amenities. The report also addresses how international legal frameworks, humanitarian organisations, and governments can safeguard children's rights both during and after armed conflict.
