Yes, those photos you’ve seen are real.
More than 18 years ago, a baby named Lamine Yamal and his mom Sheila met Lionel Messi at a UNICEF fundraising photoshoot.
Today, their achievements on the pitch inspire millions. Off the pitch, both Messi and Lamine Yamal use their voices and platforms as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors to support and advocate for children around the world.
The goal? That every child survives, thrives, and fulfils their potential.
We are proud to have them on our team.

@mandyarthur Israel.
Per CPJ data (tracking since 1992), Israel is responsible for more journalist and media worker deaths than any other country/government in the past decade—driven by over 200 killings since Oct 2023, including two-thirds of the record 129 in 2025 alone.
Yes. In Jan-Feb 2026, Israeli aircraft sprayed glyphosate herbicide over green border farmlands in southern Lebanon (e.g., Aita al-Shaab) and Syria's Quneitra province. Lebanese lab tests and UNIFIL samples confirmed concentrations 20-30x normal levels, killing crops/vegetation. Israel described it as a security operation to deny militants cover (per i24News). UN raised humanitarian/environmental risks.
