Please listen to us civilly

For the record, none of the children die.
I don't remember a whole lot of children surviving. They mostly got hauled off screen as some horrifying casualty, and that was that.
I can't recall with the new one, but the old version; Charlie, Gpa Joe, and Williy Wonka could see the other (umm... modified?) kids leaving the factory with their parents during the glass elevator ride once they bust out through a skylight.

Damn, my memory's worse than I thought.
That was the scene I was thinking of and playing the old version now; the elevator ride once it leaves through the roof is just a few remarks about the surroundings like 'look grandpa there's my school', and Wonka telling Charlie he's giving him the factory. Roll credits, no info on the other kids.
Yeah they survive... But with some lasting effects that might not be great....

Willy Wonka 1971 Oompa Loompa Song
That's literally their backstory in the novel afair.
This is intentional.
The illustrations in the original book were very...um... politically incorrect.
I have read that the Oompa Loompas were originally just black people and even for the time the publisher thought that was a bit much.
They were changed from African pygmies in later versions of the book. You can still find early copies which describe them explicitly as such:
Willy Wonka tamped down speculation that he made them of chocolate. “They are real people! They are some of my workers!” He advised the group that these tiny black people had been “Imported direct from Africa!” They belonged to “a tribe of tiny miniature pygmies known as Oompa-Loompas. I discovered them myself. I brought them over from Africa myself—the whole tribe of them, three thousand in all. I found them in the very deepest and darkest part of the African jungle where no white man had ever been before.
Haha, I thought you meant the loopmas, which is funny, too
