    Statement by UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell on the attacks in Gaza below: “Reports and images emerging from the Gaza Strip following today’s attacks are beyond horrifying. Hundreds of people have reportedly been killed, including more than 130 children, representing the largest single-day child death toll in the last year. Some of the strikes reportedly hit makeshift shelters with sleeping children and families, another deadly reminder that nowhere is safe in Gaza. The latest attacks come as lifesaving aid remains blocked from entering Gaza, compounding the risks to children. It has been sixteen days since the last truck delivering humanitarian aid crossed into Gaza. In addition, electricity has been cut to the main desalination plant, significantly reducing the amount of potable water. Today, Gaza’s one million children – who have endured more than 15 months of war – have been plunged back into a world of fear and death. The attacks and the violence must stop – now. We urge all parties to immediately reinstate the ceasefire, and we call on countries with influence to use their leverage to ensure the situation does not further deteriorate. International humanitarian law must be respected by all parties, allowing the immediate provision of humanitarian aid, the protection of civilians, and the release of all hostages.”

    “Help us build a better future,” says 13-year-old Nour from Syria. At a transitional moment for the country, UNICEF and partners are on the ground to rebuild vital systems and deliver life-saving aid. The children of Syria must remain at the heart of every effort.

    Every girl has the right to be free from harm, fear and violence. Yet millions are denied that right, enduring the lifelong impact of female genital mutilation (FGM). It’s not just physical pain; it’s an attack on their future. We can’t wait another day. We must act now if we are to end FGM by 2030. Girls’ futures are at stake. The world cannot afford to stand by. #GirlGoals

    One million children in the Gaza Strip are at risk of not receiving life-saving support. UNICEF and partners are on the ground to provide essential aid, but to do this critical work at scale, a lasting ceasefire and unrestricted aid delivery must be resumed and guaranteed.

    11-month-old Ameer from Jordan is all smiles as he receives a vaccine to protect him from measles. Measles is a deadly disease that is entirely preventable with vaccines. Yet, outbreaks are on the rise worldwide. Countries must reach unvaccinated children with life-saving doses.
