8 million newborns are born with a congenital disorder each year.
Many of these disorders can be prevented or treated.
On World Birth Defect Day, we call on countries to put greater focus and investment into helping children born with a serious condition to have the best chance at a healthy life. #BirthDefectDay
The death toll in #Gaza has surpassed 30,000 — a large majority women and children.
Over 70,000 Palestinians have been injured.
This horrific violence and suffering must end. Ceasefire.
I support Secretary-General @antonioguterres' letter to the @UN Security Council, invoking Article 99 and appealing for a ceasefire.
#Gaza's health system is on its knees and near total collapse. We need peace for health.
Lives in ruin.
UNICEF and partners urgently need safe and unrestricted humanitarian access to reach children in Gaza who have been injured, displaced and traumatized.
But more than anything, children need a lasting humanitarian ceasefire
I deeply regret that military operations have started again in Gaza.
I still hope that it will be possible to renew the pause that was established.
The return to hostilities only shows how important it is to have a true humanitarian ceasefire.
My colleagues and I are devastated: we have lost one of our own in #Gaza today.
Our young @WHOoPt colleague Dima Alhaj was tragically killed alongside her 6 month old baby, her husband and 2 brothers. Reportedly multiple other family members sheltering in the same house were also killed.
I have no words to describe our grief.
This loss comes on top of other losses in the @UN family since 7 October: 108 @UNRWA colleagues have been killed.
This horror must end.
All humanitarians and civilians must be protected.
Ceasefire. NOW.
We know it is still possible to make the 1.5° limit a reality.
It requires tearing out the poisoned root of the climate crisis: fossil fuels.
And it demands a just, equitable renewables transition.
“La situación sobre el terreno es indescriptible.
Los pasillos de los hospitales, atestados de heridos, enfermos y moribundos.
Morgues a rebosar.
Cirugías sin anestesia”.
