Annually, 10 000 people die unnecesarily, including children, because of the Minister of Environment's failure to make regulations to limit emissions in the Highveld Priority Area. The drastic effect on children's rights is justification for a proactive duty on decision makers to make regulations to implement laws which can protect children.

@UPChildLaw A powerful reminder of why the #DeadlyAir case and judgment matter. Hear the voices from the Highveld Priority Area, where dangerous #airpollution has persisted for decades. 🌍 Watch their stories

@CIatUCT @SANCRC_SA @UPChildLaw @childwelfare_sa @DownSyndromeSA @POWA_ZA @SaveChildrenSA @NSM_ZA @safmh @sanda_info @TeddyBearClini Access to social services is a right for all vulnerable groups. Cutting the funding to Ngos will compromise access to and quality of services. These services are vital to the health and wellbeing of the nation. Funding is an investment in sustainable development economic growth.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

Two months of war has caused unimaginable loss, destruction, and misery. Thousands have been killed, millions are displaced.

The humanitarian system is collapsing.

Everyone in #Gaza is hungry.

Forced to take shelter in a school amid bombardments in Gaza, Taha shares his message.

UNICEF calls for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, unrestricted humanitarian access across Gaza and immediate and safe release of all abducted children.

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

As the situation for children in the State of Palestine and Israel continues to deteriorate, UNICEF is calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, immediate and safe release of all abducted children and unrestricted humanitarian access across Gaza.

@ChildCommWC @NomdoChristina It's time for child-centred budgeting, that means child rights impact assessments across the whole of government spending, not just services that directly affect children.
