🧊 Children bear the brunt of climate change, but are almost invisible in the world’s leading climate science reports. A new Nature Communications study shows how we can change that.  👉 nature.com/articles/s4146… #ChildrenInIPCC #ClimateScience #AR6

Yet again we're seeing horrific reports of the killing of seven children in Gaza this time as they were waiting for water at a distribution site. This comes just days after several children and women were killed waiting for nutritional supplies.

The Israeli authorities must urgently review the rules of engagement & ensure full compliance with international humanitarian law, notably the protection of civilians, including children.  UNICEF calls for an immediate & lasting ceasefire, aid at scale & release of hostages.

We’re failing Gaza’s children. Seen through their eyes, our failure is a betrayal of their right to be children. History will judge this harshly. So will the children. We call for a ceasefire in Gaza, protection of children and release of all hostages.👇 unicef.org/press-releases…

Horrific images of starving children in Gaza demand action. UNICEF is getting 3 truckloads of baby milk into Gaza as we speak. But it’s far too little for thousands of children at risk of starving to death.

Grateful to the GoF of Children and the #SDGs and their powerful statement during the HLPF. Shining a light on children's rights at the UN General Assembly is key to ensuring children are heard by world leaders. Full statement available here: bit.ly/46sNXUP

UNICEF welcomes the announcement by Israel to implement most urgently needed humanitarian pauses to increase access to deliver aid into and across Gaza. Since the collapse of the ceasefire in March, children have been trapped in a nightmare and deprived of the basics to survive.
