All of us at UNICEF are devastated and outraged by the killing of our colleague Karine Buisset in a reported drone attack in Goma, DRC.
My immediate thoughts are with the family, loved ones & colleagues across UNICEF.
Civilians, including aid workers, must never be targeted.
Quiero agradecer por aquí a Erick Cruz, de atención al cliente de @Iberia , que me rescató tras la anulación de mi vuelo. Llegaré a Madrid a tiempo gracias al tiempo y las molestias que se tomó. ❤️
The situation for Palestinians in Gaza is beyond description, beyond atrocious & beyond inhumane.
A policy of siege & starvation makes a mockery of international law. The blockade against humanitarian aid must end immediately.
This is a moment for moral clarity & action.
Today, Gaza’s one million children have been plunged back into a world of fear and death.
We appeal for the ceasefire to be reinstated immediately.
Full statement from @unicefchief: https://t.co/knDtne9r4S
After more than 1,100 Israelis were killed in the Hamas terror attacks of 7 October, after more than 34,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, haven’t we seen enough?
Haven’t civilians suffered enough death & destruction?
The international community has a shared responsibility to promote a humanitarian ceasefire, the unconditional release of all hostages, and a massive surge in life-saving aid.
This baby has a congenital heart condition and can't get treatment. Children in Gaza, including those held hostage, urgently need access to life-saving supplies and services, and aid workers need to safely access children in need.
We have lost touch with our colleagues in Gaza.
I’m extremely concerned about their safety and another night of unspeakable horror for 1M children in #Gaza.
All humanitarians and the children and families they serve MUST be protected.
.@UNICEF strongly condemns the strike on the Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza w/ hundreds of civilians reported killed & injured.
We call for the protection of all civilians, incl children, & the infrastructure they rely on.
We need an immediate ceasefire & humanitarian access.
General Comment 26 is very clear: Countries must uphold children’s rights to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment.
Governments must prioritize action on every aspect of childhood threatened by climate change. #GC26
Children are bearing the brunt of the climate crisis.
I welcome the new guidance by the @UN Committee on the Rights of the Child to protect the world’s children from worsening climate impacts. https://t.co/YXCP8nJcH8
Women & girls deserve to live with dignity & respect.
We will never give up fighting to ensure their fundamental human rights are upheld everywhere.
Sergio Vieira de Mello's unwavering dedication to peace and humanitarianism is a timeless inspiration.
His legacy fuels my commitment to making a positive impact to people forced to flee 🕊️

78 years ago, a nuclear weapon incinerated Hiroshima.
As anyone who has visited knows, the memories never fade.
I stand with the people of Hiroshima and the hibakusha working tirelessly to ensure that nuclear weapons are never used again.
💔 Muchas gracias, Ramón, por ser siempre uno de los nuestros. Aquí ya te echamos de menos.
Descansa en paz.
