UNICEF Ireland welcomes Gaza ceasefire announcement
Statement by Peter Power, Executive Director of UNICEF Ireland, on the Ceasefire in Gaza.
Two years of hellish war on Gaza’s children
For more than 700 days, children in Gaza have been killed, maimed, and displaced in a devastating war that is an affront to our shared humanity. Israeli strikes on Gaza City and other parts of the Gaza Strip continue. The world cannot, and must not, allow this to go on.
The Brutal Logic Imposed on Gaza’s Children
Gaza City remains home to tens of thousands of children. Shoeless children push grandparents in wheelchairs around rubble
10 children killed in ten days in Port-au-Prince, Haiti
UNICEF is deeply shocked and concerned by the killing of ten children in ten days in Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti.
11 children reportedly killed in attack on mosque in Sudan
The drone attack on a mosque at the Abu Shouk camp for internally displaced people in Al Fasher, North Darfur, during Fajr prayers three days ago is shocking and unconscionable.
More than 2.2 million adolescent girls excluded from education in Afghanistan
It has been four years since adolescent girls in Afghanistan were barred from attending school beyond grade 6.
Devastating rate of child malnutrition in Gaza
Child malnutrition in the Gaza Strip continues to deteriorate at an alarming rate, with the latest evidence showing a record proportion/ of children screened were identified as acutely malnourished in August.
Afghanistan earthquake
Afghanistan is once again reeling from tragedy and children are at the sharp end of an aggravating crisis. We must respond not only with urgency, but with a commitment to immediately reverse it.
