على بعد أمتار من المكان الذي تعمل فيه تلك الجرافات بصعوبة لانتشال جثة جندي إسرائيلي، تتواجد عائلات كاملة تحت الأنقاض، ولا أحد يستطيع انتشالهم بطريقة مناسبة ،إسرائيل لا تسمح بإدخال المعدات لذلك، ولا أحد يضغط عليها لإجبارها .
حديث العالم عن استخراج 19 جثة لجنودٍ إسرائيليين قتلوا أطفالًا فلسطينيين، لكن لا أحد يتحدث عن استخراج أكثر من 10 آلاف جثة لمدنيين، أغلبهم أطفال وكلاهم يتواجد في ذات البقعة في قطاع غزة …
هذا عالمنا اليوم، كم هي دماؤنا رخيصة لهم.
Today, following the launch of the $38 million Republic of Korea-UN humanitarian and resilience package, H.E. the Ambassador of the Republic of Korea, UNICEF Representative/UN Resident Coordinator a.i., and teams from UNICEF, WFP, UNDP, and WHO visited programme sites in Rural Damascus.
At a UNICEF-supported WASH site, the delegation met workers restoring access to safe water for families.
Across other sites, they witnessed ongoing efforts delivering tangible results for children and their families.
A testament to what collective action can achieve - building a stronger, more resilient future for Syria.

حتى الاجنبي الغير مسلم ماقال #غزة هي من بدأت بالاعتداء لن اساعدهم او تشمت فيهم بالعكس يبكي من أجلهم ويتألم ، صدق اللي قال الانسانية والرحمة ليس لها علاقة في دين او عرق ، قد يرحمك الغريب ويقسوا عليك القريب
For as long as it takes, if not my generation, it will be our children or their children who will bring the criminals who starved Yazan and the children of #Gaza to justice.
My generation was taught Nazism was the greatest evil; and it was; and colonial crimes should've not been omitted.
Today, a state starving millions/shooting children for sport, shielded by democracies & dictators alike, is the new abyss of cruelty.
How will we survive this??
As part of the emergency response in southern #Syria@SYRedCrescent is delivering essential aid to families in #Daraa with support from @ICRC, @UNICEF & @TDVint.
Distributions include food, water, hygiene items & support to health facilities and shelters across ten remote areas.
The Israeli Authorities are starving civilians in #Gaza.
Among them are 1 million children.
Lift the siege: allow UNRWA to bring in food and medicines.
🤝 In Deir-ez-Zor, a constructive meeting was held between Mr. #Ghassan_AlSayed_Ahmad, #Governor_of_Deir_ez_Zor, and Ms. Meritxell Relaño Arana, #UNICEF#Representative in #Syria.
The Governor reaffirmed his support for UNICEF’s work across the governorate, while underlining the challenges still facing communities—damaged homes, widespread presence of #unexploded_ordnance, and limited access to #safe_water due to destroyed infrastructure.
During her visit, Ms. Relaño Arana saw firsthand the impact of these challenges on #children, families, and communities. She reiterated UNICEF’s commitment to supporting early recovery and helping displaced families return home safely.
#EveryChild has the right to safety, clean water, and a better future.

تشعر #اليونيسف بقلق بالغ إزاء تأثير أعمال العنف الأخيرة على #الأطفال في #سوريا.
تشير التقارير إلى مقتل وإصابة أطفال خلال الاشتباكات في محافظة السويداء، والغارات الجوية على دمشق التي عرضت حياة المدنيين – بمن فيهم الأطفال – للخطر، تذكير مؤلم بالمخاطر المستمرة التي يواجهها الأطفال في جميع أنحاء البلاد.
تؤكد اليونيسف على ضرورة استعادة الهدوء – فالسلام والأمان والاستقرار حاجة ملحّة #لكل_طفل في سوريا.
