The situation in Gaza is a non-stop nightmare that threatens to take the entire region with it.

Lebanon is at the brink.

The people of Lebanon, the people of Israel and the people of the world cannot afford Lebanon to become another Gaza.

Gary Lineker on Gaza, "It's the worst thing I have seen in my lifetime. Constant images day in, day out of children losing their lives."

Repeat after me. A habitable planet is more important than the profits of a few fossil fuel companies.

Pass it on.

One Palestinian child has been killed in the West Bank every two days since October 2023, on average.

Children report being scared to walk around their neighbourhoods or to travel to school.

"We must never forget how easily hate speech can turn to hate crime; how ignorance or indifference can lead to intolerance; or how silence in the face of bigotry is complicity."

In Ukraine, 12-year-old Alina is coping with the loss of her little brother with the help of a psychologist from UNICEF.

This is why she's determined to become a psychologist herself. 👇 #OnMyMind

Skin diseases, unsanitary environments, unending hostilities.

Children in Gaza are dealing with overwhelming conditions.

A ceasefire is needed now.

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

Climate change is changing more than the planet. It’s changing children.

What are you doing about it?

Demand #ClimateAction, now.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The richest 1% are responsible for the same quantity of planet-wrecking greenhouse gases as two-thirds of humanity.

These are not natural facts. They are the result of humanity’s choices.

We can, and must, decide to do things differently.

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

90 per cent of people in Gaza have been displaced since October 2023.

Many of them are children.

Places where people are being forced to move lack basic necessities and safety.

UNICEF continues to call for an end to all hostilities and a lasting ceasefire.

[Welsh Parliament @SeneddWales]

"We are failing these young people, and we can't fail them any more."

A #ChildRights Approach can help overcome the ‘democratic deficit’ (🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿& 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿under 16 yrs cannot vote) by requiring councillors to take children’s views & rights into account when making decisions that affect children’s lives.

Thanks @together_sacr for sharing our latest blog👇

Children in Gaza like 9-year-old Jana are losing out on their childhoods.

They need a ceasefire now.

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

Can you imagine if this was the coldest year of the rest of your baby’s life? Even if you’re currently experiencing a heat wave, that is...

By 2050, every child on our planet – over 2 billion – will be exposed to high heatwave frequency.

We need urgent #ClimateAction.

[Save the Children UK @savechildrenuk]

We're horrified at reports of an Israeli airstrike on a school-turned-shelter in Gaza, killing and injuring many children.

This is the fourth attack on or near schools sheltering displaced people in the past four days.

It has to stop.

We need a #CeasefireNOW.
