Last month over 100 countries met in Siem Reap, Cambodia, adopting a 5-year Action Plan for a mine-free world. No antipersonnel landmine—no matter the technology—can distinguish between a soldier and a child. Let’s unite for a Mine-Free World!

UNICEF is ready to work with governments, partners and the private sector to ensure that the new $300B climate finance target agreed at #COP29 today is met.

The number of children recruited by armed groups in #Haiti increased by 70 per cent in the last year. ​

A context of escalating violence, pervasive poverty, lack of education, and near collapse of critical infrastructure and social services is fueling the crises. ​

✨ While every child deserves a bright future, 6 million children in Myanmar now need humanitarian assistance. ​

Look at what UNICEF is doing to build together as we try hard to deliver #ForEveryChild in #Myanmar​

Many thanks @HazelDeWet for your inspiring and insightful remarks on the way forward to "stop the war on children". Our collective commitment is more needed than ever. Children living in conflict want peace.

Children's rights are human rights✊

Children have the right to survive, learn, & be protected.

This #WorldChildrensDay, we will continue the work we started over 100 years ago.

We won't stop until children’s rights are respected, supported, & protected globally❤️

Our latest State of the World's Children report is a call to action for all who have a stake in our collective future.

It urges us to look beyond the present, anticipate upcoming challenges and opportunities and act now to secure a better world #ForEveryChild.

Stop the war on children - Pathways to Peace. Yesterday, at the @save_children report launch, I stressed the importance of investing in three things: protecting children's Policies, People, and Advocacy. Thank you @michelanglade partners and allies.

[Hazel De Wet @HazelDeWet]

We join forces for #Lebanon at the Monthly Member States Briefing, org. By @UNOCHA today.

The armed conflict in #Lebanon and across the region is getting worse, and children are being killed, injured, and displaced from their homes in the hundreds of thousands. They face growing risks of health and protection issues. We must act urgently and decisively to ensure the protection of children!​

Join the panel discussion at #AidEx "Lifesaving or saving lives". With limited funds available and more people needing humanitarian assistance, what services do you prioritise? Is our priority "Lifesaving", or is it about saving lives? Or about dignity? Unpacking the concepts and going beyond definition. #HumanitarianAid ​

On our planet, 733 million people experience hunger every day, and many of them are children. ​

Crises are the main drivers, but food assistance can and does save lives. ​

To mark this #WorldFoodDay, we call for safe access to assistance to ensure food reaches everyone in need, whoever they are wherever they are.

I had the honor of engaging with the @UNICEF Deputy Director in Geneva to express my heartfelt appreciation for their unwavering support to Somalia, particularly Jubaland. Their commitment to improving the lives of communities in our region is invaluable. @unicefsomalia

[Catherine Russell @unicefchief]

Children and families in Sudan are suffering from constant conflict in what has become the world’s largest hunger AND displacement crisis.

UNICEF, @WFP, @WHO and partners are doing everything we can to deliver aid to people in Sudan. But it is not enough.

[Hazel De Wet @HazelDeWet]

A #humanitarian pause enabled the successful two rounds of polio vaccination campaigns in the State of Palestine, thanks to @UNICEF, @WHO, and @UNRWA and every piece of the puzzle that made this happen. ​

UNICEF continues to advocate for a ceasefire and is committed to standing up for all #ChildrenRights. ​

[Hazel De Wet @HazelDeWet]

#Haiti: While armed groups continue to expand their control over territory, the number of displaced children is increasing. As October marks the beginning of the school season, hopes and challenges are equally high.
@UNICEF is working with the Government's "Back to Learning" campaign by supporting vulnerable children.  @UNICEFHaiti ​
