We repeat. A military besiegement and ground incursion in Rafah, Gaza, poses a catastrophic risk to the children sheltering there. Many of the children cramped in Rafah have been displaced multiple times and have lost homes, parents and loved ones. Thousands are injured, malnourished, traumatized or living with disabilities. They must be protected, along with the few remaining basic services and infrastructure they need to survive. For over seven months, we’ve witnessed this tragedy unfolding, resulting in thousands of children killed or injured. UNICEF continues to call for an immediate ceasefire, the unconditional release of all hostages and an end to the senseless killing of children.

After a devastating landslide struck a remote part of Papua New Guinea on Friday, UNICEF is on the ground, working tirelessly with the authorities and other partners to support relief efforts. The tragedy has claimed over 100 lives in the village of Kaokalam, Enga Province, about 600 kilometres northwest of Port Moresby, and affected at least 150 children, including 50 under the age of 5. Among other critical aid, we are distributing WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) dignity kits, which provide essential supplies like clean water, sanitation tools, and hygiene items to help families maintain health and dignity during emergencies. We are committed to ensuring that these vital resources reach those in need as quickly as possible.

Through the support of UNICEF and government partners, these health heroes play a pivotal role in increasing vaccination coverage among the indigenous communities, and protecting children from deadly diseases. #ForEveryChild, health.
