I am extremely concerned about #malnutrition in #SouthSudan. According @theIPCinfo, 6.6 million people (> half the population) are experiencing acute food insecurity. This is driven by #floods, #drought, #conflict, economic crisis & vulnerability. Read 👇 ipcinfo.org/ipc-country-an…

Like in #Malawi, the supply of cold chain equipment allows for the safe and effective vaccination of thousands of #children and families. Thanks to the @JapanGov for this generous support. #UNICEFTHXJAPAN

Through #2gether4SRHR adolescents and young people living with HIV in Eastern in Southern #Africa are rightfully demanding a say in the policies and programmes that affect their lives. Read 👉🏿uni.cf/3NAHpqB

Perfect storm of conditions for #Measles and other diseases outbreaks, affecting children most: Warn WHO and UNICEF on Day 4 of #WorldImmunizationWeek2022 #LongLifeForAll #VaccinesWork

“It's important that gov'ts invest in building capacity at primary care level to ensure a suite of basic services, including immunization, are provided for all. The🌎community needs to support too: to pool funds & efforts for #HSS”-@UNICEF's Assoc. Dir. of Immunization @Dr_Ephrem

Worldwide #measles cases have increased by 79% in the first 2 months of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021 @WHO & @UNICEF warn that current conditions are ripe for serious outbreaks of vaccine-preventable illnesses #ImmunizationWeek #LongLifeForAll shar.es/afnbPY

The 🌍 today is home to the largest generation of young people in history - 1.8 billion. They're a force for change. @UNICEF's Youth Advocacy Guide - created in #Africa in 2018 - is now global!👏🏿 READ bit.ly/3xq6ijS #YouthAreLeading

Some good news from @USAID on additional & generous funding for life-saving humanitarian assistance, which is so desperately needed to respond to ever growing needs from the drought in the #HornOfAfrica bit.ly/3Km7o3D

UNICEF with support from ECHO handed over three backup generators to the Ministry of Health which will support Mbabane, Siteki and Hlathikhulu hospitals as part of the multi-country actions under EU's humanitarian initiative in support of COVID19 vaccination roll out in Africa

Deeply honored to meet His Excellency President @Azali_officiel during my visit to the Union of the Comoros and reiterate @UNICEF’s commitment to continue our shared work to further the rights of #children

Always exciting to interact with country office colleagues! I had the privilege of joining the @MalawiUNICEF all-staff meeting & am proud of their dedication to continuing to fight for the rights of every #child despite the challenges #COVID19 has brought to families in #Malawi.

“I am now vaccinated to protect myself & my family from current & future COVID19 waves. Surely, I wouldn’t have been vaccinated if the van had not come close to home,” says Egrita. @UNICEF is helping to roll-out #COVID19 vaccines on wheels in Malawi.

Wishing everyone marking the #NewYear a very happy and healthy 2022. May you and your families #StaySafe as we continue to fight #COVID19. The best way is to #GetVaccinatedNow, #MaskUp & keep up handwashing & social distancing.

#Children in #Mozambique are suffering from multiple #humanitariancrises & need urgent access to restored, basic & life-saving services wherever possible. @UNICEF_Moz has been on the ground for decades supporting those at risk & remains ready to deliver #ForEveryChild.

Happy holidays everyone😀 #ForEveryChild

“Growing up in #Zimbabwe was beautiful & fun, but also challenging. There was drought & floods. @UNICEF helped us. I remember the white cars w/ blue branding that brought us books, stationery & vaccines,” says Clementine (28) now living in #SouthAfrica with her family. #UNICEF75
