We're absolutely heartbroken to see that six children - including a group of ten-year-old quadruplets, and their mother are the latest victims of Israeli airstrikes in Gaza. We simply cannot accept the violence that Palestinian children continue to face as normal.

For the first time in 25 years, polio has been confirmed in Gaza. Given the high risk of the spread of the deadly disease, World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF, UNRWA & partners are working to launch a vaccination campaign in the coming weeks to halt transmission. news.un.org/en/story/2024/…

A baby girl paralysed by polio in war-ravaged Gaza has become the first confirmed case of the deadly disease to be detected there in 25 years.

Children in Gaza are yearning to go back to school. But these schools are under attack, and dreams and futures are being destroyed. This has to stop. A ceasefire is way overdue. Join us in calling for one.

Today, UNICEF is bringing 1.2 million doses of polio vaccine type 2 (nOPV) to #Gaza. With World Health Organization (WHO), UNRWA and other partners, we plan to vaccinate more than 640,000 children. #ForEveryChild, Health.

First, UNICEF convoy crosses the Adre crossing from Chad to Darfur, #Sudan, delivering vital nutrition supplies for some 12K children under 5. It is imperative to ensure safe & unimpeded humanitarian access to reach more #children with life-saving aid.

Poliovirus: yet another threat for the children of Gaza. They need their health and safety prioritized. This violence has to stop NOW.

Sudan’s children are under attack, and it’s not being reported or noticed enough. UNICEF Spokesperson James Elder reports from a school in Khartoum, Sudan, amid live firing. Share this video. Let’s keep talking about Sudan and calling for a ceasefire.

انطلقت اليوم رسميًا المرحلة الأولى من حملة التطعيم الطارئة ضد شلل الأطفال في #غزة. لمنع انتشار شلل الأطفال، تهدف اليونيسف ومنظمة الصحة العالمية والأونروا والشركاء إلى تطعيم أكثر من 600 الف طفل بجرعتين من اللقاح. إن الالتزام بالوقفات الإنسانية في المناطق المحددة أمر ضروري لنجاح

The first phase of the emergency #Polio vaccination campaign has officially started today in #Gaza. To prevent the spread of polio UNICEF, World Health Organization (WHO), UNRWA and partners aim to vaccinate over 600,000 children with two rounds of the vaccine. Adherence to the area-specific

At temporary learning spaces in #Gaza, UNICEF and partners are "giving a little bit of respite, a little bit of normalcy to the children." See how our global colleagues are helping children learn, play and grow — despite the challenging circumstances:

Boys and girls around the region are going back to UNRWA schools except in #Gaza. More than 600,000 children there are deeply traumatized, living in the rubble. They continue to be deprived of learning + schooling. Half of them used to be in UNRWA schools. The longer children

Heroic work from colleagues UNICEF Palestine, WHO in occupied Palestinian territory, UNRWA, partners and most importantly more than 2,000 local Palestinian health workers and community outreach workers. #Gaza

The most important element to us is that the pause in fighting is respected throughout the five days of the #polio campaign in #Gaza. My comments to The National News. thenationalnews.com/news/mena/2024…

A pause in attacks is helping to shield children in #Gaza from polio. Only peace will shield them from war. End this war on children.

Since the beginning of this year, UNICEF and its partners have provided life-saving services to over 152,000 malnourished children across #Sudan. This critical support has been made possible thanks to the strategic partnership of USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance and EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺. #ForEveryChild

Proud of my UNICEF Palestine colleagues in #Gaza. Your resilience and you drive for results for children is an inspiration to all of us !

Despite heavy rains and flooding, we delivered lifesaving ready-to-use therapeutic food to Nyala, South Darfur, earlier this week. It will help to treat 6,000 children suffering from severe acute malnutrition. As the needs are immense, we are committed to do more #ForEveryChild
