How does religion explain infant deaths?

We read about the deaths of babies and children as a result of wars, diseases, or simply human cruelty. What did they do to recieve such a tragic fate? Is there an explanation for this in any religion?

Why do people ask these questions , its like they want GOD to come down and fix everything for us . That way we don't have to learn from right and wrong , saddness and happiness. To take away our agency from us , force all of us to go back to heaven .

@Fa8393 I understand the broad nature of your arguments. But what about infants, who are incapable of differentiating between right and wrong? And if they die young, they won't have time to learn. So the question.
