For 500 days, some 260,000 civilians — half of them #children — have been trapped in Sudan’s #AlFasher, cut off from food, medicine, and safety. Hunger, disease, and violence are stealing children’s lives. The world must not look away. #ForEveryChild, every right

Supplies save lives. With @Flexport.org, @UNICEFSupply delivers lifesaving aid from its Copenhagen hub to crisis zones like Port #Sudan within 72 hours — helping @UNICEFSudan support children when and where they need it most. unicefusa.org/stories/how-un… #WorldHumanitarianDay

The world is failing humanitarian workers and the children who rely on them for survival and protection. Humanitarian workers are not a target. Children are not a target. This #WorldHumanitarianDay, join UNICEF in demanding world leaders protect humanitarian workers from attack. #ActForHumanity

How do you vaccinate 600,000 children during a war? Watch the full story of how humanitarian workers – supported by UNICEF and partners – worked against all odds to protect children in Gaza against polio. Ahead of #WorldHumanitarianDay, as the humanitarian situation in Gaza grows even more dire, we recognize the humanitarian workers risking their lives in conflict zones around the world, and call for their protection from attacks.

Childhood should mean learning to count — not counting the days until safety. It should mean playing and dreaming of tomorrow — not fearing you won’t survive today. Children in #Gaza deserve a childhood.

Imagine this for your son or daughter, night after night, for 600 nights. I mean really take 60 seconds to imagine it. To feel it…. #Gaza

Children’s rights are being violated by crises and wars. UNICEF works around the world to protect them, but global funding cuts threaten this life-saving work. As UNICEF we are committed to staying and delivering. Will you join us? Learn more: unicef.link/4ksS73r

"We've always lived here. Our whole lives are here. Where else can we go?" Palestinians in the Occupied West Bank say Israeli settlers are increasingly threatening their families and forcing them off their land-- expanding illegal herding outposts. Watch @nadaabashir's report.

1 million children in #Gaza are struggling to survive without basic necessities. Hundreds of thousands lack clean water and sanitation. Water is a basic human right that no one should be denied. UNICEF and partners are working to deliver life-saving aid, but only a lasting ceasefire and unrestricted access can truly save lives.

When children’s rights are at risk, who will stand for them? I AM. We ARE.  I AM #ForEveryChild is a call to action to protect, empower & fight for every child’s future. Join us in turning compassion into action. help.unicef.org/global/i-am

📣 The US gov't still hasn’t restored funding to @UNRWA & a proposed Israeli Knesset ban could end UNRWA services in #Gaza & the #WestBank next week. Join @MarkRuffalo in declaring #HandsOffUNRWA: unrwausa.org/hands-off-unrwa. Contact your reps to restore US funding for UNRWA now!

Here are five things children in Gaza need urgently during the ceasefire. Watch and share.

Nights in #Gaza are bitterly cold. Children are struggling to survive. Now, at least 8 infants and newborns have reportedly died from hypothermia in recent weeks. UNICEF is on the ground delivering baby clothes & blankets to protect babies & mothers. Children need a ceasefire, NOW.

Our mission to negotiate the release of @UN staff detainees and to assess the health and humanitarian situation in #Yemen concluded today. We continue to call for the detainees' immediate release. As we were about to board our flight from Sana’a, about two hours ago, the airport came under aerial bombardment. One of our plane’s crew members was injured. At least two people were reported killed at the airport. The air traffic control tower, the departure lounge — just a few meters from where we were — and the runway were damaged. We will need to wait for the damage to the airport to be repaired before we can leave. My UN and @WHO colleagues and I are safe. Our heartfelt condolences to the families whose loved ones lost their lives in the attack.

"The tragic events unfolding for over a year and its impact on children has been overlooked for far too long. Join me in supporting UNICEF and @UNICEFSudan. Children need a ceasefire now!" - UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador @IshmaelBeah on his first trip to Sudan.

Over the past two days in #Lebanon, at least 9 children have been killed—including boys and girls sleeping in their beds. This war has become a living nightmare for children, who continue to bear the heaviest cost. These attacks must end now, and international humanitarian law must be upheld. Ceasefire now.

"On this World Children’s Day, let us strengthen our resolve to advocate for children’s rights and ensure that the commitments made by countries over the past 35 years are put into practice, that there is true accountability for violations of children’s rights and every child in this region, and the world, knows we are keeping our promise to them" Statement by UNICEF Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa @AdeleKhodr on World Children’s Day 2024: bit.ly/4fU18zD
