The situation in Gaza is a non-stop nightmare that threatens to take the entire region with it. Lebanon is at the brink. The people of Lebanon, the people of Israel and the people of the world cannot afford Lebanon to become another Gaza.

Skin diseases, unsanitary environments, unending hostilities. Children in Gaza are dealing with overwhelming conditions. A ceasefire is needed now.

The richest 1% are responsible for the same quantity of planet-wrecking greenhouse gases as two-thirds of humanity. These are not natural facts. They are the result of humanity’s choices. We can, and must, decide to do things differently.

90 per cent of people in Gaza have been displaced since October 2023. Many of them are children. Places where people are being forced to move lack basic necessities and safety. UNICEF continues to call for an end to all hostilities and a lasting ceasefire.

Can you imagine if this was the coldest year of the rest of your baby’s life? Even if you’re currently experiencing a heat wave, that is... By 2050, every child on our planet – over 2 billion – will be exposed to high heatwave frequency. We need urgent #ClimateAction.

We're horrified at reports of an Israeli airstrike on a school-turned-shelter in Gaza, killing and injuring many children. This is the fourth attack on or near schools sheltering displaced people in the past four days. It has to stop. We need a #CeasefireNOW.
