💧💧💧 The recently inaugurated water treatment plant in Bor, South Sudan is providing clean, safe water to over 96,000 people and counting. Huge thanks to @NLinSouthSudan and #KOICA for the transformational support and partnership 💧💧💧👏👏��

In Jabalia, where destruction is overwhelming, families are returning with urgent needs and little left standing.

UNICEF established a medical point to provide essential health and nutrition services to around 10,000 families.

Restoring services today is a step toward dignity and toward hope for children and their families.

[Catherine Russell @unicefchief]

When you ask children in Sudan what they wish for, they all say the same: ‘We want peace.’

The international community must redouble efforts to urgently end this war, get children's lives back on track, and give them the future they deserve.

“We are here at the #water plant that #UNICEF has been helping to rehabilitate. It will be ready next month, and clean water will be available to over 30,000 people.”
This is how Dr Douglas Noble, Director of Health Emergencies Preparedness and Response at UNICEF, described the impact after concluding his field mission to rural Aleppo and Idlib, where he witnessed first-hand the immense needs of children and their families.

At the @Pandemic_Fund Board meeting this week I was representing @UNICEF as we continued to plan investment for long term sustainable change in pandemic preparedness and response. It was a pleasure to see Rwanda’s work and to take part in the ‘groundbreaking’ ceremony for the construction of the national reference veterinary laboratory. Reminds me of the importance of a One Health approach that helps prevent the spread of disease from animals to humans #publichealth

“In Ma’arrat An Nu’man in Syria, the scars of conflict are still visible, but so is the resilience of families and children who are determined to return home,” said Lucia Elmi, UNICEF Director of Emergency Programmes.

With nearly 1.2 million people returning back to Syria, determined to rebuild their lives, see what Lucia Elmi has witnessed.

UNICEF senior officials visited #Aleppo to assess health interventions. At Salah Addin Centre & Aleppo University Hospital, they saw how UNICEF, UN partners and ICRC are saving children’s lives through restored facilities & vital care for vulnerable #children. Collective action makes a real difference.

Six months after his first visit, UNICEF Regional Director for MENA, Edouard Beigbeder, describes the immense destruction across Gaza.

With schools and health centers damaged or destroyed, UNICEF and partners are scaling up efforts to restore essential services and help families rebuild their lives.

بعد عامين من الخوف والدمار، يحتاج الأطفال في غزة بشكل عاجل إلى الأمان والدعم.

تعمل اليونيسف على توسيع نطاق المساعدات المنقذة للحياة بينما يمنح وقف إطلاق النار الهش بصيص أمل.

في أثناء وجوده في غزة، يدعو المدير الإقليمي لليونيسف في الشرق الأوسط وشمال أفريقيا، إدوارد بيجبيدير، إلى ضرورة استمرار وقف إطلاق النار وفتح جميع المعابر لضمان وصول المساعدات إلى كل طفل.

“When I buy the diapers, milk and flour, I feel such relief, like my burden has been lifted. As long as their food and drinks are secured, I’m at peace,” says Rania, a mother of two who was displaced from her home in Gaza.

Cash transfers have been a vital lifeline for families in Gaza, helping them to address their pressing needs flexibly.

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

After two years of fear and devastation, children in Gaza are in urgent need of safety and support.

While UNICEF and partners have been scaling up our response since the ceasefire, its fragility is threatening children's safety and access to life-saving aid.

As we continue to ramp up assistance to children and families on the ground, @unicefmena’s @E_Beigbeder emphasizes the need for the ceasefire to hold and for all crossings to open, to allow for a surge of aid.

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

Children in Sudan have been deeply suffering for over two years amid ongoing violence.

UNICEF’s @TedChaiban highlights from Khartoum State how we and partners are addressing their urgent and critical needs, to help restore hope as they begin to rebuild their lives.

[Catherine Russell @unicefchief]

The news of a possible deal in Gaza brings much-needed and long-overdue hope.

Every opportunity to stop the horrific deaths and suffering of children, return the hostages and ensure full humanitarian aid must be seized-lives depend on it.

[Dr. Douglas Noble @DouglasNobleMD]

Following Monday’s meeting with a focus on cholera on the sidelines of the #UNGA80, a stark reminder from this report on the cholera outbreak in Darfur. UNICEF is on the ground, working with partners to provide clean water, medical supplies, and support, but the needs are immense. We need to keep translating together the board room commitments into targeted real time #publichealth action on the ground for children https://t.co/A2TypBMDjG

Global funding cuts are threatening children's lives.

At a UNICEF-supported health centre in Nigeria, our Deputy Executive Director, @KittyvdHeijden, saw the life-saving work on the ground and how the ongoing aid cuts could put children’s survival at risk.

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

“The funding crisis goes far beyond Ethiopia and Nigeria…this is happening around the world, and the most vulnerable children are bearing the brunt.”

UNICEF’s @KittyvdHeijden warns of the deadly impact of ongoing funding cuts on children’s health and survival.

For the first time in 15 years, around half a million people in Aleppo have access to clean water through the Ein Al-Baida pumping station, rehabilitated by UNICEF and the ICRC.

During his visit, UNICEF Regional Director @E_Beigbeder highlighted the critical need for continued support to expand these vital efforts for children and families on the ground.

[UNICEF MENA - يونيسف الشرق الأوسط وشمال إفريقيا @UNICEFmena]

لأول مرة منذ 15 عامًا، حوالي نصف مليون شخص في حلب يستطيعون الوصول إلى المياه النظيفة من خلال محطة ضخ عين البيضا، التي قامت اليونيسف واللجنة الدولية للصليب الأحمر بإعادة تأهيلها.

وخلال زيارته، أكد المدير الإقليمي لليونيسف، إدوا��د بيجبيدير، على الحاجة الملحة لاستمرار الدعم لتوسيع ه��ه الجهود الحيوية لصالح الأطفال والعائلات على الأرض.

This is the first time in 15 years that the UN is moving back from Aleppo to Idlib. This is a real breakthrough that will allow us to have a stronger operation.’ – Edouard Beigbeder, UNICEF Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa, speaking from #Syria .

After years of relentless conflict and destruction, the need for lifesaving aid, education, and early recovery is more urgent than ever. UNICEF is on the ground, working tirelessly to support children and families in Syria.
