At #WHA79, leaders from polio-affected countries, donors and partners reaffirm their commitment to #EndPolio for good.

As conflict and crises worldwide put more children at risk of disease, sustained investment and political leadership are more important than ever.

[Catherine Russell @unicefchief]

This month, Governments in polio priority countries across Africa & Asia continue intensive vaccination efforts with support from UNICEF, WHO and GPEI partners.

No child should suffer from illnesses we know how to prevent.

Together, we will reach every child and #EndPolio.

UNICEF is deeply concerned by the continued attacks on schools in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. On 11th May, a Girls Primary School in Tank District, was reportedly destroyed by explosives.

Schools must be safe havens and must never be targets.

A few weeks ago I visited Bangladesh.
I was inspired by health services and opportunities for girls to learn.
And I was deeply troubled by abductions in the camps in Cox's Bazar.
We cannot look away. Please join us in supporting children in Cox’s Bazar.

Meet Payenda from Badakhshan Province, Afghanistan.

With a motorcycle & a cold storage box, he travels to the most remote corners of Badakhshan Province, Afghanistan.

Thanks to his efforts, children like 4-month-old Idrees are protected from preventable diseases.

This support from partners and donors is vital to ensure that thousands of children like them can stay in their classrooms and build a better life for themselves and for their families.

In a recent visit to Cox’s Bazar, our Deputy Regional Director met with students like Muslima & Asma from grade 9.

Since Rohingya refugees are not formally allowed to earn their own income, these schools rely entirely on continued funding to stay open & accessible.

I am honoured to represent @UNICEF at #WomenDeliver2026 in Narrm, Australia.

In the face of climate shocks & conflict, we’re focused on 3 priorities for girls: safety, services & skills.

We must move from pilots to scaled investment. It’s time to turn commitments into action.

[UNICEF Asia Pacific @UNICEFAPRO]

In Cox’s Bazar, community members & UNICEF have installed water purification systems that provides safe drinking water to families.

“Right now, it's only in eight communities, but together we could reach many more,” said our Deputy Regional Director during her recent visit.
