The arbitrary detention of UNICEF and other UN staff in Yemen is unacceptable. We’re calling for their immediate and safe release. Their safety and well-being remain our top concern, along with the life-saving support they provide to Yemen’s children and families.👇

Depriving children, families and hostages in Gaza of food and aid is unconscionable. We should all be asking ourselves: ‘What if this was my child or loved one?’ The suffering must end.

Death by bombardments. Death by malnutrition and starvation. Death by lack of aid and vital services. In Gaza, an average of 28 children a day - the size of a classroom - have been killed. Gaza's children need food, water, medicine and protection. More than anything, they need a

Malnutrition among children in Gaza is reaching catastrophic levels. UNICEF and partners are supporting as many children as possible with the treatment they desperately need, but the situation has to change drastically. UNICEF’s @TedChaiban highlights what is urgently needed.

Amid starvation and bombardments, there's another massive threat to children in Gaza: the lack of clean water. UNICEF’s Ricardo Pires outlines how we are supporting the production of safe water for children and families.

This is unacceptable. We call on Israel, Hamas, and other parties to allow the delivery of unimpeded humanitarian assistance, and to protect civilians, including children. This must stop now.
WFP Statement | #Gaza On the morning of 20 July, a 25 truck WFP convoy carrying vital food assistance crossed the Zikim border point destined for starving communities in northern Gaza. Shortly after passing the final checkpoint beyond the Zikim crossing point into Gaza, the

Children I’ve met fleeing war dream of going home & to school. For them education & support are lifelines. @UNICEF works with host governments to find lasting solutions. Solidarity means action to protect & educate, and to invest in their future. #WorldRefugeeDay @Refugees

Preventable child deaths have reached a record low, yet children continue to face challenges to their survival in fragile and conflict settings. For children living in these settings, access to essential health and nutrition services is imperative. https://t.co/4NTh6cC51V

UNICEF's @TedChaiban met today children who were forcibly displaced with their families due to violence & now reside in IDP sites. In these challenging conditions, they spend each day in makeshift tents, facing uncertainty yet striving to have a normal childhood.

My trip to Haiti began at the K-Soleil health centre, where the struggle for survival is palpable. Doctors noted that without @UNICEF they would close. Children will die from malnutrition without continued support. Our work here is essential & requires immediate funding.

Viruses don't know borders and neither should our work. Today at #EIBforum I highlighted the importance of global health partnerships - and celebrated an innovative, impactful one with @EIB @EU_Commission @GatesFoundation @WHO, which has given #EndPolio a needed shot in the arm.

Famine & sexual violence in #Sudan are not just consequences of war, they are weapons of war. At the @MunSecConf we renewed our agreement on the urgent need for more humanitarian access & an end to atrocities. The arms embargo must be enforced, the world cannot look away.

Sudan’s famine is man-made and preventable, yet aid is being blocked and food systems destroyed. 50% of severely malnourished children risk death. Warring parties must allow unimpeded humanitarian access now. Critical discussions seeking solutions at the @MunSecConf.

I was pleased to have had discussions with @HadjaLahbib on the EU-UNICEF strong partnership, and the need to continue placing children at the forefront of humanitarian response to fragile contexts.
Timely discussion with @UNICEF @TedChaiban on the evolving situations in Syria, Palestine & Sudan. The impact on children and their access to education is a pressing concern. Agreed on the need for a more inclusive humanitarian system.

7.5 million children in Syria now need humanitarian assistance. For a better future #ForEveryChild, there must be immense, coordinated efforts at both national and international levels. Statement by UNICEF’s @TedChaiban following his visit to Syria. ⬇️ https://t.co/TI7DUj3bpI
