[UNICEF Lebanon @UNICEFLebanon]

Children in Lebanon are exhausted.

From fear.
From displacement.
From living through violence again and again.

More than 770,000 children are now at risk of long-term mental health conditions because of the ongoing escalation.

Its toll may leave lasting scars long after the violence ends.

This cannot continue.

Children must be protected.

The ceasefire must hold.

At least 59 children have been reportedly killed or injured in Lebanon in the past week despite the agreed ceasefire.

Beyond the immediate impact of bombs and airstrikes, an estimated 770,000 children are experiencing heightened distress from repeated exposure to violence, loss and displacement.

Binding responsibilities that fall to the leaders of nations. Time for dialogue not rearmament! @Pontifex wish there were many religious leaders like you calling on the humanity of everybody!

[Vatican News @VaticanNews]

Pope Leo XIV: “Dear brothers and sisters, there are certainly binding responsibilities that fall to the leaders of nations. To them we cry out: Stop! It is time for peace! Sit at the table of dialogue and mediation, not at the table where rearmament is planned and deadly actions are decided!” - Prayer Vigil for Peace, 11 April

Beautifully said @DrTedros

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

They circled the Moon while the rest of us stayed glued to screens full of war and outrage.
Humanity can reach farther than ever before, yet still can't reach across a border to shake hands.
We're smart enough to survive space.
When will we be wise enough to survive each other?

تواصل اليونيسف إيصال إمدادات صحية منقذة للحياة إلى المناطق التي يصعب الوصول إليها في الجنوب، دعماً لتوفير الرعاية الأساسية للأطفال والأسر، في وقت تتعرض فيه الأنظمة الصحية لضغط هائل.

وتجدّد اليونيسف تأكيدها: يجب حماية الأطفال في جميع الأوقات. كما يجب ضمان استمرار الوصول الإنساني، ولا يجوز حرمان أي طفل من الرعاية المنقذة للحياة.

In hard-to-reach areas like Tebnine, in South Lebanon, damaged hospitals continue to function while cut off from the rest of the country.

Inside, hundreds of patients are being treated. Many are children.

UNICEF teams are on the ground, delivering life-saving medical supplies, safe water, hygiene kits, and baby kits to support overwhelmed health facilities and families living in isolation.

Humanitarian convoys are now critical to sustain people.

But this is not enough.

Hospitals must be protected.
Children must be protected.
Communities must be reached.

A ceasefire is urgently needed. Now.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.

[Adele Khodr @AdeleKhodr]

Definitely animals are better than humans. They build; they accumulate; they use their brain no matter how small it may be. Humans destroy, hurt and plot!

Polycrises amidst a total erosion of #HumanConnection #Humanity and #Diplomacy. The language of violence and greed are prevailing in the world today at all fronts !

Humanitarian inbox today:

Over 180K crossed Syria-Lebanese border since 2 March. Dozens killed in Sudan's Blue Nile, East Darfur, West Kordofan and Northern State. In East Darfur, at least 64, including 13 children, killed in drone attack on Ed Daein Teaching Hospital. 1/2

[UNICEF Lebanon @UNICEFLebanon]

A UNICEF-led convoy delivered life-saving supplies to hard-to-reach border areas in southern #Lebanon cut off by the ongoing war.

Critical supplies reached vulnerable families in Qlaya’a, Borj el Moulouk, Deir Mimas, Jdeidet Marjaayoun, Ibl El Saqi, and Boueyda, marking the first UN convoy to access these specific areas, which continue to witness intense fighting.

In highly constrained conditions, around 3,000 children received urgent access to safe water, hygiene items, and essential care.

We remain committed to ensuring that #EveryChild, even in the hardest-to-reach areas, receives the support and protection they need

،العاملون والمتطوعون في المجال الإنساني ليسوا هدفا؛
ويجب احترامهم وضمان حمايتهم.

Humanitarian workers and volunteers are not a target;
they must be respected and their safety guaranteed.

[Norwegian Refugee Council @NRC_Norway]

After the first ten days of the escalation, one in seven people in Lebanon is now displaced. The country is approaching a breaking point.

[Adele Khodr @AdeleKhodr]

Tragic! No respect whatsoever for humanitarian work. Sad to see humans using technology to be more violent, and as a killing machine.

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

UNICEF is devastated and outraged that our colleague Karine Buisset was killed in a reported drone strike on a building housing aid workers in Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo.

Well done @UNICEFLebanon !

[UNICEF Lebanon @UNICEFLebanon]

As violence continues to escalate in #Lebanon, UNICEF is scaling up its emergency response to support children and families affected by the conflict.

With the @EUinLebanon, were delivered today, 45 metric tons of emergency supplies to the @mosalebofficial to help meet urgent needs across shelters and response centres.

The shipment includes first aid kits, blankets, winter clothing, mats, water tanks, recreation, and hygiene kits, providing essential support to children and families affected by the ongoing violence.

UNICEF continues to work closely with the government and partners to scale up life-saving assistance for those most in need.

This response is part of the European Union’s continued humanitarian support to Lebanon.

[Institute for Palestine Studies @PalStudies]

We mourn the passing of historian Walid Khalidi, Honorary President of IPS and one of its founders. We extend our condolences to his family and to the wider academic community that benefited from his life’s work. His scholarship leaves an enduring legacy and remains a foundational reference for anyone studying the Palestinian cause.

“Children in Lebanon cannot afford further delays. They need protection, safety and support”

From inside a collective shelter in Lebanon that became a refuge for families forced to flee with almost nothing, UNICEF Representative @MarcoluigiC highlighted the urgent needs of displaced children and families.

UNICEF has rapidly scaled up its emergency response, providing health care, psychosocial support, safe water and emergency assistance. However, as violence escalates and needs continue to grow, sustained support is critical to ensure children and families receive the life-saving assistance they urgently need.
