This appalling statistic is despite a ceasefire being in place. No child votes for war and no child should pay this terrible price. All parties are bound by humanitarian law to protect civilians and most importantly children. This brutal conflict must stop.

Tissues at the ready!

The Terminal 1 arrivals hall was a sea of emotion tonight as over 150 Irish @defenceforces troops were welcomed home from their 6 month deployment in Lebanon by their very happy loved ones… 🥰

[UNICEF Lebanon @UNICEFLebanon]

Children in #Lebanon should be returning to classrooms, playing with friends, and recovering from months of fear and upheaval.

Instead, they continue to be killed and injured despite the ceasefire announced on 17 April.

#EveryChild killed is a life taken. #EveryChild injured is a childhood forever changed.

This violence must stop. Children must be protected at all times.
