Human Rights Watch said armed groups are recruiting children through social media platforms like Meta and TikTok.
The drone attacks killed 21 people and wounded 145 others, including children.
Ombudsman Iris Marin said fear of drone overflights and attacks has triggered displacements, restrictions on mobility, and difficulties in working the fields, accessing health centres or carrying out daily activities.
