These challenges are real and children are being pulled deeper into the crisis in the Middle East.

@UNICEF continues to respond, but the scale of need is increasing quickly.

Jamaica holds a special place in @karinaleblanc’s heart - so when Hurricane Melissa hit, she didn’t just see the devastation; she felt it.
The hurricane has left destruction across the Caribbean. Donate at https://t.co/PvCJSAN49E to help children and communities rebuild. 💙

Every number tells a story. A child vaccinated. A child safe from violence. A family with safe water. 

For 70 years, Canadians have helped write these stories with UNICEF. 💙

UNICEF welcomes the announcement by Israel to implement most urgently needed humanitarian pauses to increase access to deliver aid into and across Gaza.

Since the collapse of the ceasefire in March, children have been trapped in a nightmare and deprived of the basics to survive. They are hungry, traumatized and have no safe place to go. The entire population of over 2 million people in Gaza is severely food insecure. One out of every three people has not eaten for days and 80 per cent of all reported deaths by starvation are children.

This is an opportunity to begin to reverse this catastrophe and save lives.

UNICEF has never stopped delivering. But we can do a lot more if additional designated humanitarian corridors are created to facilitate the movement of our convoys - as well as commercial trucks, which are essential. In July alone, UNICEF has managed to deliver 147 trucks inside Gaza with nutrition supplies, including baby food, milk and high-energy biscuits.

We are ready to increase this number and ensure more life-saving aid enters Gaza at the required scale and bring hope to an exhausted population.

UNICEF continues to call for a ceasefire, the unfettered access of humanitarian aid across Gaza, the protection of children, and the release of all hostages so they can return home to their loved ones.

On this report card, Canada barely gets a passing grade.

UNICEF Report Card 19, which tracks child & youth well-being in high-income countries, ranks Canada 19th out of 36 countries, not quite what’s expected of one of the world’s wealthiest nations: https://t.co/d3TSrRZkS0

@C_hodgy In my first-ever spiel in bantam’s, my coach—seemingly out of nowhere—pulled from of his leather jacket a family-sized bag of sour patch kids and 4 five-alive juice boxes.

Had one great end of curling before we crashed.

Still ranks up there…
