Atleast 43 children have been killed by armed forces in Myanmar since February's military coup, according to rights organisation Save the Children.
The coup began two months ago, when the military seized control of the country after an election which Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) party won by a landslide.
When tens of thousands of people took to the streets nationwide to protest against the coup, the military used water cannon to attempt to disperse them. After a week, the response escalated, and rubber bullets and live ammunition were used.The deadliest day of the conflict so far came on Saturday, when more than 100 people were killed.(source:BBC)
