Famine is imminent in north Gaza.

Children are dying of malnutrition and dehydration.
 
Aid organizations MUST have full and safe access to reach children and families in need everywhere in #Gaza .
 
The lives and well-being of children are hanging in the balance.

On #WorldWaterDay2024 read how, thanks to ⁦JICA - Japan International Cooperation Agency,⁩ 12yr old Farzana recovered from Pakistan’s floods & now has a climate-resilient water pump close to home so her community has clean water. Less time fetching water, more time in school 🩵🙏🏻 unicef.org/pakistan/stori…

Welcome to UNICEF Afghanistan, Dr. Tajudeen Oyewale All the best for a safe and productive tenure. In you, the women and children of Afghanistan have a champion.

“Nothing is a substitute for a ceasefire. Delivering aid under bombardment does not stop the destruction... We cannot save people from hunger only then to bomb them to death.”

Queen Rania spoke with me about Jordan airdropping aid into Gaza, the humanitarian crisis, and more.

Babies are dying of malnutrition & dehydration.

Man-made famine is looming.

Doctors are amputating limbs of injured children without anesthetic.

Despite all the horrors - the worst might be yet to come.

The fate of millions of people who depend on UNRWA hang in the balance.

This is unconscionable. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain of parents who are forced to watch the life drain out of their children’s bodies when food and water are sitting in trucks a few miles away. For God’s sake let the humanitarian aid in.

'The cost in children’s lives of this epic humanitarian catastrophe is unbearable.

The fighting has to end now'

UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Liam Neeson on the five things children in #Gaza need most

“The sense of helplessness and despair among parents and doctors in realizing that lifesaving aid, just a few kilometers away, is being kept out of reach, must be unbearable, but worse still are the anguished cries of those babies perishing under the world’s gaze.”
UNICEF

What a global shame with food and water in trucks just a few miles away.

9,000 women killed.

37 mothers killed every day.

#Gaza is on the verge of starvation.

Mothers eating last, less and least nutritious food.

Immediate ceasefire, full humanitarian aid access and immediate release of all hostages are a MUST.

What a global shame.
