War in Gaza has reportedly killed over 13K children and injured countless more.

Homes, schools and hospitals in ruin.

Two remaining child hostages in Gaza, Kfir and Ariel, have yet to be released.

It’s been over 180 days of anguish for the hostages and families.

Children lost family members and are missing parents and loved ones still held hostage.  

All hostages must be released NOW.

From Sudan to South Sudan, Chad and Egypt.

Conflict in Sudan is forcing children and their families to make long and perilous journeys to escape unrelenting violence.

UNICEF’s Lana Al-Wreikat on what they urgently need.

I allocated $12 million from CERF - The UN's emergency fund to address the dire situation in #Haiti .

Unending gang violence has displaced 50,000 people, pushed 5 million into acute hunger and weakened an already fragile health system.

These funds will enable aid partners to reach the hardest-hit.

Good discussions on Haiti today with 🇪🇺EU at UN-NY and partners on the need to scale up humanitarian assistance and protection with and for the Haitian people.
 
The time to act is now!

The lives and futures of children and their families are hanging in the balance.

All of us at UNICEF are devastated by the killing of a World Central Kitchen team working to bring food to starving children and families in #Gaza .
 
Our thoughts are with their families and colleagues.
 
The lives of aid workers and the people they serve MUST always be protected!

The footage of death & carnage at Al Shifa is a testament to absence of safe places in #Gaza . While famine is ravaging the strip & children need urgent health care, hospitals are destroyed condemning an entire population to slow & agonizing deaths. This needs to end immediately.

Nine years of conflict in Yemen have massively disrupted education for millions of children - with schools damaged, overcrowded classrooms and unpaid teachers.

UNICEF and partners are helping provide basic education support so children like Maram get opportunities to learn.

This is not just a weather report. It’s our children’s future.

Let’s clear the skies for all the kids in our lives.

A horrific attack by armed groups in Haiti yesterday destroyed an empty school in Port-au-Prince that over 1K children depended on for their education.

The violence in #Haiti is crushing the dreams and futures of children. It must end. unicef.org/haiti/en/press…

Nine years into the conflict in Yemen, nearly 10M children need urgent humanitarian assistance.

Over 2.7M children are acutely malnourished, and 49% of children under five suffer from stunting or chronic malnutrition.

Yemen’s children need our support. unicef.org/press-releases…

The violence and instability in #Haiti have consequences far beyond the risk of the violence itself.

The situation is creating a child health and nutrition crisis that could cost the lives of countless of children.

Today’s UN Security Council resolution demands an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the release of all hostages and unimpeded aid access.

We urge all parties to the conflict to implement the resolution NOW to alleviate the suffering of so many children and families.
