In numbers:
142 million children live in a high-intensity conflict zone, where at least 1,000 people are killed each year.
Only 0.14 percent of development aid went towards children's psychological assistance over two years.
Around 17 percent of people living in or displaced from a conflict zone require psychological aid.
Susanna Krüger, chairwoman of Save the Children in Germany, said:
"This war against children must end."
"(Children) often lack the most basic things. Mental problems are a completely normal response."
"We demand that states … as well as all parties to conflict comply with international rules protecting children, and to provide more money so that children can recover from conflicts."
