The United Nations says conflict in the Middle East and North Africa are keeping more than 13 million children in nine countries from attending school.

A UNICEF report released Thursday said violence in the area has reached new levels of destructiveness and horror. It said children are being exploited and attacks have damaged or destroyed schools. The report adds that refugees and fighters are using schools as shelters and routes to school are considered too dangerous.
