On #WorldHealthDay and every day, we thank community health workers worldwide for reaching children with life-saving vaccines.
I allocated $12 million from CERF - The UN's emergency fund to address the dire situation in #Haiti .
Unending gang violence has displaced 50,000 people, pushed 5 million into acute hunger and weakened an already fragile health system.
These funds will enable aid partners to reach the hardest-hit.
Good discussions on Haiti today with 🇪🇺EU at UN-NY and partners on the need to scale up humanitarian assistance and protection with and for the Haitian people.
The time to act is now!
The lives and futures of children and their families are hanging in the balance.
This is not just a weather report. It’s our children’s future.
Let’s clear the skies for all the kids in our lives.

Our thanks for their continued support for UNICEF’s work.
