It is incredible the impact that is made when so many people come together to make a difference.

[Ramina Ghassemi @RaminaGhassemi]

I visited #SouthAfrica last week and was able to see the impact of our #UNICEF-led programs. One of the incredible programs I saw was the Girls & Boys Education Movement, where learners are empowered to address issues that are of concern to them in their schools and communities

The world cannot abandon the people of Gaza. https://t.co/kFeqNYkvsb

[Catherine Russell @unicefchief]

As the horror for children in Gaza continues, 2023 has also been the deadliest year on record for children in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, from conflict related violence.

The lives and well-being of all children, no matter who or where they are, must be protected.
