Vaccines are among the most thoroughly studied, effective tools we have to protect children from serious vaccine-preventable diseases. Decisions about how and when vaccines are used should be driven by rigorous scientific evidence, patient safety, and independent medical and public health expertise. Altering a proven vaccination schedule without credible evidence risks weakening public confidence and putting children’s health at risk.
If you have questions about vaccines, talk to your child’s physician. Putting our children’s health at risk is not an option

Here it is. My manifesto for the 2026 Clacton By-Election. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Join me, clean up Clacton and let's make 13th August Bin Day! #VoteBinface#VoteyMcVoteface#YesWeTinCan
Yes, those photos you’ve seen are real.
More than 18 years ago, a baby named Lamine Yamal and his mom Sheila met Lionel Messi at a UNICEF fundraising photoshoot.
Today, their achievements on the pitch inspire millions. Off the pitch, both Messi and Lamine Yamal use their voices and platforms as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors to support and advocate for children around the world.
The goal? That every child survives, thrives, and fulfils their potential.
We are proud to have them on our team.

As of 31 December 2025, MSF is still awaiting renewal of its registration to operate in Gaza and the West Bank under new Israeli requirements, including staff lists.
The Palestinian health system is decimated, essential infrastructure is destroyed, and people struggle to meet basic needs. People need more services, not less. If MSF and other INGOs lose access, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians would be cut off from essential care.
We currently support one in five hospital beds and the delivery of one in three births in Gaza. In 2025 alone, we provided nearly 800,000 outpatient consultations, treated over 100,000 trauma cases, performed 22,700 surgeries, assisted more than 10,000 births, and distributed nearly 700 million litres of water.
Another horrifying loss of an @MSF colleague in #Gaza.
Omar Hayek was an occupational therapist. Other colleagues injured include a physiotherapist, and an orthopaedic surgeon among others.
I mention their professions because I spoke earlier today of the urgent need for this specialised care for the thousands of injured Gazans.
Every loss of a medical worker is a tragedy for their families, colleagues, and the people they will never be able to help.
Over the past two years, @WHO has verified over 1700 attacks on health care in Gaza and the West Bank, resulting in more than 1000 deaths and 1800 injuries.
The attacks on health MUST STOP. Ceasefire!
“It is clear there is an intent to destroy the Palestinians in Gaza through acts that meet the criteria set forth in the Genocide Convention.”
UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry's report shows #Israel has committed #genocide in #Gaza.

The refugees of today are our doctors, carers, teachers and neighbours of tomorrow.
Above all, they are human beings worthy of compassion, dignity and respect.
People in Gaza are starving to death.
@UNICEF is warning that deadly malnutrition among children is reaching catastrophic levels.
Humanitarian aid at scale is urgently needed.
Safe, unrestricted access into Gaza must be granted to save lives.
🔴 Hunger is widespread in Gaza and people are dying.
🔴 Deadly malnutrition among children is reaching catastrophic levels.
🔴 Food is dangerously scarce, and clean water is below emergency levels .
���� Aid is severely restricted and dangerous to access.
This is a man-made disaster.
Enough is enough. The United Nations must be allowed to deliver aid of all types at scale to families, wherever they are.
.@WHO’s staff residence in Deir al Balah, #Gaza, was attacked three times today as well as its main warehouse.
Israeli military entered the premises, forcing women and children to evacuate on foot toward Al-Mawasi amid active conflict. Male staff and family members were handcuffed, stripped, interrogated on the spot and screened at gunpoint.
Two WHO staff and two family members were detained. Three were later released, while one staff remains in detention.
32 WHO staff and family members were evacuated to the WHO office once access became possible.
WHO demands the immediate release of the detained staff and protection of all its staff.
The latest evacuation order in Deir al Balah has affected several WHO premises, compromising our ability to operate in Gaza and pushing the health system further towards collapse.
WHO’s main warehouse located in Deir al Balah is within the evacuation zone, and was damaged yesterday when an attack caused explosions and a fire inside.
With the main warehouse nonfunctional and the majority of medical supplies in Gaza depleted, WHO is severely constrained in adequately supporting hospitals, emergency medical teams and health partners, already critically short on medicines, fuel, and equipment.
WHO urgently calls on Member States to help ensure a sustained and regular flow of medical supplies into Gaza.
As the lead agency for health, compromising WHO’s operations is crippling the entire health response in Gaza.
A ceasefire is not just necessary, it is overdue.
HEALTH: Privatization of hospitals generally corresponded with worse quality of care, fewer cleaning staff per patient, higher infections and higher rates of avoidable deaths, according to a study published in The Lancet Public Health.
With the world looking elsewhere, the militarization of aid adds another layer to Israel’s deliberate imposition of genocidal conditions against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip.
Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed and injured at or near aid distribution points since Israel’s weaponized “humanitarian” aid distribution system was imposed at the end of May.
Families are being forced into an impossible choice: die of hunger or die trying to get food. Seeking food should never be a death trap. Israel must end its genocide and lift the blockade now.
Act now: https://t.co/1YhxY9vgsI
🚨Carnage continues in Gaza.
On 17 June, Israeli forces killed 59 Palestinians and wounded over 200, who were brought to Nasser hospital, according to the Ministry of Health. These were people trying to receive flour rations in Khan Younis, southern Gaza.
The medical team responding to the influx of patients had to clear the maternity ward to make space for the wounded, turning delivery rooms into emergency operating theatres. Many of the injuries required amputations to save the patients' lives.
Every day Palestinians are met with carnage in their attempts to receive supplies from the insufficient amount of aid trickling into Gaza.
“I saw people torn to pieces; it's a disaster. Seeking food should not be a death sentence,” says Dr Wafaa Abu Nemer, a paediatrician working with us.
“In this horrific situation, nothing can replace Nasser, the last remaining lifeline in the south,” warns Aitor Zabalgogeazkoa, our emergency coordinator. “But the hospital is over-capacity and running on limited supplies, it is dangerously close to breaking point.”
UNITED STATES: Life expectancy for the wealthiest 1% of Americans is now 10 years higher than for the poorest 1%, according to researchers at Washington University.
Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Younis, #Gaza, is now essentially out of service due to increasing hostilities in its vicinity.
Access to the hospital is obstructed, preventing new patients from reaching care, and leading to more preventable deaths. The hospital still has patients who need care, but is not accepting new ones. Two emergency medical teams - one national, the other international - are still doing their best to serve the remaining patients with the limited medical supplies left on the premises.
With the closure of Al-Amal, Nasser Medical Complex is now the only remaining hospital with an intensive care unit in Khan Younis.
Once again — we call for an immediate ceasefire, protection of health facilities and unimpeded access for essential medicines and medical supplies.
