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?

Speaking from Christianity's point of view and maybe not all Christians.
Bible indicates sin is a reason for sickness and physical death and does not discriminate with age. Had the children live the children would have sinned.
Man rejects, or refuses to realize, or don't understand that God doesn't care about these flesh bodies..... Ignore that these flesh bodies are temporary they will die..... Reject that God cares about the spirit within these flesh bodies, when the body dies the body erodes back into the Earth and the spirit goes back to God _ Ecclesiastics 12:7........ All will face judgment and if you are a baby or child there is no sin to face from life upon this earth and will not face the type of judgment that all others face......
Jesus even gives references to children Matthew 18:2-4 __ 1st Peter 2: 2-3.
The Bible also lets us know children generally grow up to do what they see their parents doing and if their parents do unrighteous works, the percentage is high that their children will too, with a few exceptions.
The Bible lets us know that we are all inherently rebellious. Even toddlers have to be told over and over not to do this, that, or the other and in many cases measures taken to teach the child to listen and obey and this is continual throughout puberty, teenage years, to adulthood.
Jude 1:14 tells us that the Lord is going to return with thousands of thousands of thousands of his saints, which is unnumbered amount. Innocent children would be in that number..... The Bible also mentions some that are with Jesus night and day - who were blameless and taken from the Earth - innocent children would be in that number (having a difficult time finding it but it's there).
Man also rejects and refuse to understand is that we don't think like God - God doesn't think like us. When in fact any child that he takes or any child that is born with certain disabilities may actually blessed because they will not sin and will not face judgment. That is hard for man to understand except and most likely will reject it 95% of the time. But if a person was truthful whether they believed or disbelieved agree or disagree according to what's written in Scripture it is a blessing.
Scripture tells us the more we know the more we're held accountable for.
