A leading international relief organization has released a new report, saying modern-day wars around the world increasingly put mothers and their children at risk of death or losing their homes.
In its report "State of the World's Mothers," Save the Children says wars once fought across defined battle-lines are now fought in city streets and neighborhoods. The report also says combatants are more frequently using rape and tactics such as denying food to civilians as weapons.
