This is absolutely unacceptable. Karine was killed in a drone strike that hit a residential building – civilians, including aid workers, live there. Our hearts are with her family, loved ones and all of her colleagues at @UNICEF. Humanitarians should never be a target.

@unicefchief May Karine Buisset Rest in Peace. Deepest condolences to the family and colleagues in DRC

All of us at UNICEF are devastated and outraged by the killing of our colleague Karine Buisset in a reported drone attack in Goma, DRC. My immediate thoughts are with the family, loved ones & colleagues across UNICEF. Civilians, including aid workers, must never be targeted.

Happening now in Damascus: #UNICEF, together with the Government of #Syria and line ministries, is convening the #Joint_Annual_Review — united around one shared priority: #children. 🤝 Participants are reviewing 2025 results and setting 2026 priorities across #health and #nutrition, #education, #child_protection, #water_and_sanitation, #youth_development, and #social_protection, aligning action with the Government’s National Recovery Strategy. “The Government leads the humanitarian and recovery agenda. UNICEF and the UN are here to support, not replace, national systems, so every child in Syria can access the services they deserve.” UNICEF Representative in Syria, Meritxell Relaño Arana. This moment reflects a shared commitment to recovery, partnership, and scale, to help ensure services reach every child, in every governorate. #ForEveryChild, every right 💙 @syrianmofaex @SyrMOfH @SyrMOEgov @SyMOSAAL @SyrMOfE @SyrMOYAS @RelanoMeritxell @UNICEFmena @UNinSyria

One month since the Gaza ceasefire, we’re delivering on our 60-day plan. We’re saving lives but could save many more with better access, more safety and more funding.

With the Ministries of Health and Education, and partners, #UNICEF is scaling up efforts to improve #nutrition for #children and women in Syria. In 2025, 300,000 #girls benefitted from iron and folate supplements, which will be expanded to nationwide to reach 700,000 across all 14 governorates. #ForEveryChild, nutrition @RelanoMeritxell @TrbyaGov @SyrMOfH @UNinSyria

Today, #UNICEF and the @Ministry_of_Health launched the development of Syria’s #National_Multisectoral_Nutrition_Strategy – a five-year roadmap to improve the #nutrition and wellbeing of #children and women across the country. “What Syria needs is a clear roadmap, one that enables its ministries, donors, and development partners to prioritise investments in interventions that deliver the greatest impact for children and women.” – Ms. Zeinab Adam, UNICEF Syria Deputy Representative. 🤝 Bringing together more than five sectors – #Health, #Nutrition, #Education, #Food_Security_and_Agriculture – this strategy will tackle the root causes of malnutrition and ensure resources go where they matter most. Together, we are laying the foundation for a healthier future, where every child can grow, learn, and thrive. 🌱👶📚 @RelanoMeritxell @UNICEFmena @UNinSyria @FAOSyria @UndpSyria @SyriaUnfpa @UNHCRinSYRIA @UNRAW @WFP_Syria @WHOSyria

A milestone for #children and women in #Syria: 📊 For the first time in almost two decades, Syria is launching a Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) – one of the world’s largest and most trusted household surveys on children and women. This landmark effort, led by the Syrian Planning and Statistics Commission in partnership with #UNICEF, will provide reliable, internationally comparable data to guide policies, shape programmes, and track progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Syria’s Vision 2030. #MICS is not just about numbers. It is about understanding the realities of children and women – their health, education, wellbeing, and daily lives – to ensure every child grows up with opportunities to learn, survive, and thrive.

Our hearts and thoughts are with the children and families impacted by the devastating earthquake in Afghanistan. UNICEF has deployed mobile health teams to the affected areas and is supporting health facilities to care for children and families.

On this International Day, I join the call to end discrimination against people of #AfricanDescent — everywhere. Racism has no place in our world. Let’s keep pushing for dignity, justice, and equality for all.
