My trip to Haiti began at the K-Soleil health centre, where the struggle for survival is palpable. Doctors noted that without @UNICEF they would close. Children will die from malnutrition without continued support. Our work here is essential & requires immediate funding.

[Gates Foundation @gatesfoundation]

Every child deserves to have access to the nutrients they need to thrive. On #WorldChildrensDay, @BillGates explains how a few simple solutions could be the key to solving childhood malnutrition and improving millions of children’s lives.

"If health care providers don’t have access to a hygiene service, patients don’t have a health care facility... Every year, around 670,000 newborns lose their lives to sepsis."

More people in the world have phones 📱 than toilets 🚽, but access to safely managed sanitation is crucial for healthy lives.

On Friday's #WorldToiletDay, see how the #GlobalGoals aim to ensure access to sanitation for all. https://t.co/aWRZ2NXySU

UN Secretary-General António Guterres spoke to @UNICEF Youth Advocate Nicki Becker about the urgent need for #ClimateAction at #COP26. Watch their conversation here: https://t.co/YwjWMCu3H7

[Catherine Russell @unicefchief]

The climate crisis is a child rights crisis.

The decisions at #COP26 will shape the lives of every child and young person on earth, now and in the future. I urge world leaders to commit and deliver.

[Children's Environmental Rights Initiative (CERI) @CERI_Coalition]

Today @CERI_Coalition, @UNICEF, @IYCM and @UN_PGA placed copies of the Declaration on Children, Youth and Climate Action on the desks of all 193 governments at the @UN.

It's time to put the rights of children at the center of climate policy and decision-making.

Good to speak with @AlisynCamerota and @VictorCNN about last nights flooding, our bus experience and our incredible @MTA driver Rosa and how #climatechange is making extreme weather events more severe and more frequent. #ClimateActionNow

[UNICEF Lebanon @UNICEFLebanon]

‼️‼️Water supply is rapidly approaching the worst case scenario, with the potential to affect 4 million people being cut off from water this week. At this critical point, the power supply should be urgently restored to keep life-saving water services running.

“The fundamental goal of the adults in any society is to protect their young and do everything they can to leave a better world than the one they inherited. The current generation of adults, and those that came before, are failing at a global scale.” https://t.co/MBUqeSwtG8
