Roughly two million children have now been forced to flee Ukraine — making up half of all refugees from the war — the United Nations Children's Fund said Wednesday, CNN reported.

More than 1.1 million have arrived in Poland alone, with hundreds of thousands in nearby countries of Romania, Moldova, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

UNICEF warned of a heightened risk of exploitation and trafficking for children fleeing violence. In an effort to quell those risks, the UN agency is scaling up "Blue Dots," which are one-stop safe spaces for travelling families.

More than 100 children have been killed in the conflict, UNICEF added, with more than 130 injured.

More than 2.5 million children have been internally displaced within Ukraine, according to UNICEF.
