“I wish we could return to our homes and that the displacement would stop.”

Nine-year-old Fatima and other children displaced in Lebanon by the recent war share their dreams and hopes with UNICEF’s Ted Chaiban.

An average of at least 19,000 girls and boys are now displaced every single day in Lebanon.

UNICEF is providing essential services for children on the ground, but what they really need is an end to the violence.

“UNICEF is alarmed by reports that children have been killed and injured in the recent escalation of hostilities between Afghanistan and Pakistan.” - @UNICEFROSA's Sanjay Wijesekera.

Since 2000, child poverty has fallen by a third. However, climate shocks, conflict, and unpayable debts are reversing hard-won gains.

Progress is possible, but only if we protect it. Children cannot wait. #EndChildPoverty

In Sudan, 9.5 million people are internally displaced across 18 states, making it the world’s largest internal displacement crisis.

For nearly three years, Sudan’s children have been enduring - and continue to endure - a humanitarian catastrophe driven by conflict, displacement, disease and hunger.

UNICEF continues to stay on the ground, delivering life-saving, essential services with partners for children and families affected - including health and nutrition, safe water, psychosocial support and education.

However, the crisis remains severely under-reported and underfunded.

Children in Sudan need long-lasting peace and stability NOW.

Nine-year-old Abid Al Rahman was recently hit by a shrapnel when he was collecting firewood in Gaza.

Over 100 children have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire of early October, hundreds more injured. UNICEF and partners are delivering life-saving services for healthcare, sanitation, nutrition, and protection in the winter.

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

It’s been three months since the ceasefire was announced in Gaza.

UNICEF Spokesperson @1james_elder reports from the ground how children and families, despite hardships, are acting with determination and resilience, and how UNICEF is supporting them.

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

Winter in Gaza has worsened living conditions for children like Besain, 4.

Besain’s mother, Doaa, has been doing everything possible to keep her children protected.

UNICEF is supporting families like theirs by providing essential winter clothing and shelter supplies.

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

A heartwarming moment of reunification amid tragedy.

Watch how UNICEF and partners helped reunite brothers Aghouk, 9, and Geregh, 7, with family in Ethiopia, after they fled the war in Sudan and became separated.

#ForEveryChild, peace so they can achieve their dreams in safety.

[United Nations @UN]

“Eight decades later, the United Nations remains the essential, one-of-a-kind meeting ground to advance peace, sustainable development and human rights.”

Sanitation and hygiene remain a critical concern for children and families in Gaza.

With @UNICEFPalestine's Heba Harara, find out how latrines installed by UNICEF are restoring protection, health and dignity.

[UNICEF Sudan - اليونيسف في السودان @UNICEFSudan]

Sheldon Yett, @UNICEF Representative in #Sudan, visited Tawila, where children arrive scared and exhausted after fleeing violence.

UNICEF and its partners are working tirelessly to deliver lifesaving support to children and their families.

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

More than 10 children were reportedly killed yesterday in an attack on a kindergarten in South Kordofan, Sudan.

The killing and maiming of children and attacks on schools and hospitals are grave violations of children’s rights.

Ending child poverty is possible, and within our power. In this century, it was globally reduced by about a third.

We know what works – cash support for families, better schools, stronger health systems. What’s needed now is commitment #ForEveryChild. https://t.co/FlUKrBAQCX

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

More than 400 million children globally live in poverty, missing out on at least two daily needs, such as nutrition and sanitation.

Poverty is stealing childhood, and more children are at risk as global funding cuts, conflict and climate threaten the services they rely on.

#EndChildPoverty — it’s our shared imperative.

Just back from a visit to Darfur, Sudan, @UNReliefChief described the situation in El Fasher as a horror show and a crime scene.

He called for the Security Council and Member States to be more clear on the need for humanitarian access, protection of civilians & accountability.

[Joe English @JoeEEnglish]

Famine conditions confirmed in Sudan’s Al Fasher and Kadugli but hunger and malnutrition ease where conflict subsides - @UNICEFSudan @WFP_Sudan @FAOSudan

To protect children and families in Gaza from the coming winter, UNICEF is currently distributing blankets and winter clothes to children and families.

Children in Gaza have experienced unimaginable horrors for too long.

The ceasefire must be sustained and respected - the rights of one million children depend on it.

[UNICEF Economic & Social Policy @UNICEFSocPolicy]

Every child deserves care and support.

UNICEF’s new publication showcases how care and support, including family-friendly policies, enable lifelong well-being, alleviate family burden, and advance gender equality.

[UNICEF Afghanistan @UNICEFAfg]

Our latest analysis shows modest progress in Afghanistan’s primary education, but challenges remain.

Many boys drop out due to poverty and girls’ gains are fragile. With 2.13 million children still out of school, steady investment in learning is critical:
