Almost a third of children in Wales are living in poverty - the highest percentage of any UK nation, according to a leading children s charity.
Save The Children has called on the Welsh government to take urgent action or risk more children being swept up into poverty.
The Welsh government said it has increased support during the pandemic.
Poverty is not having enough money to buy food, clothing and a safe place to live and in 2015, the government set a target to make sure no child is living in poverty by 2020 .
