Sudan: Number of children injured/killed by explosive weapons is rising with 3 years of war. “Every day we see children injured by weapons that should never have been used in populated areas...As families return home, risks are growing,” @Save_Children savethechildren.net/news/two-broth…

GAZA STAFF ACCOUNT: "How do I explain to a small child, who lost her father at 11 months old, that she once had a father, a home and her own bedroom painted bright pink, yellow and purple?" @save_children's Shurouq reflects six months after the ceasefire. savethechildren.net/stories/gaza-s…

A definitive ceasefire for the entire regional conflict, including #Lebanon, is the only way to truly protect children’s lives and futures and end the suffering. Children in Lebanon deserve the same safety as children anywhere in the world.

Today I had the pleasure to meet Lebanese President Joseph Aoun & discussed the staggering humanitarian toll of this war on children. With 1 mln pple displaced & 100+ children killed, the situation is critical. There's urgent need of safe access to shelter, education, protection.

Experts say adults can help children cope with the latest conflict in the Middle East by making space for conversation, validating their feelings and limiting exposure to frightening or inaccurate information. apnews.com/article/war-tr…

In just 3 days, 58,000 people, including 16,000 children, have been displaced in Lebanon. Families are sleeping in cars, on streets & in damaged schools as bombs & drones loom overhead. We’re distributing blankets, water & baby supplies. There must be an end to the hostilities.

Children in Beirut’s southern suburbs & across Southern & Eastern Lebanon have fled their homes in the night, grabbing what they can to escape escalating violence. Families are terrified by strikes & drones. We’re providing baby kits, mattresses, blankets, and essentials.

Across the Middle East and wider region, the escalation of violence is having a devastating impact on children. As tensions rise, children’s lives hang in the balance. We urge all parties to abide by international humanitarian law and protect civilians. It must stop!

“Every war is a war on children. All children have the right to access a safe education, and schools should always be a haven for children – not a battlefield. Every effort must now be made to prevent further escalation in the Middle East,” Inger Ashing, CEO of @Save_Children
