The next school year is approaching, yet at least 100,000 children in Lebanon risk having no classroom to return to.
A Ministry of Education and Higher Education assessment reveals 340 schools have been damaged, including 17 that were completely destroyed.
Behind every damaged classroom is a child waiting to return to learning, reconnect with friends, and rebuild a sense of normalcy.
Urgent investment is needed now to restore schools before September.

He was not just a three year old boy, he was my nephew, Ghadi.
Attacking civilians is a crime. Attacking children is an even greater crime. Attacking innocent people is the gravest crime of all.

With increasing needs in #Lebanon, we’ve received 25 metric tons of emergency medical supplies today—part of 67 tons arriving this week. These supplies will be delivered to PHCs and hospitals to support 700,000 people for the next 3 months. We extend our sincere gratitude to the @GOVUK for their generous contribution.

We've teamed up with @WFPLebanon to support people in southern #Lebanon.
UNICEF delivered over 10,000 liters of water, 1,000 hygiene kits, and 1,000 Laha dignity kits. But the needs are rising. Our partner @RedCrossLebanon will help distribute the supplies to more than 5,000 people. More needs to be done. We're on the ground, working tirelessly to provide life-saving supplies and services #ForEveryChild.
Humanitarian needs for families and children in #Lebanon are increasing. UNICEF and partners are delivering life-saving supplies and #protection services. We are also mobilizing resources for persons with disabilities through the #NDA program to help them cope with displacement.
Today, we joined the Croatian Ambassador Bošnjak for the opening of an inclusive playground in Mhammara, 1 of 3 parks rehabilitated parks in #Lebanon.
With the support of the Government of Croatia we're creating spaces where all children can learn and play together.
🇺🇸 ANN COULTER: I WOULDN'T VOTE FOR AN INDIAN
Coulter to Vivek Ramaswamy:
"I'm a fan of yours... You're so bright and articulate.
I guess can call you 'articulate' because you're not an American Black... can't say that about them; that's derogatory.
I agreed with many things you said.. probably more than most other candidates... when you were running for president.
But I still would not have voted for you because you're an Indian."
