The world must not forget about the impact of Ebola outbreaks on children in DR Congo and Uganda. Children are at risk - not only of the virus itself, but also of the wider disruption to essential services, loss of caregivers, stigma and more. UNICEF has already mobilized nearly 50 tonnes of supplies and is supporting community health workers to help children and their families stay safe. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eB7c7hpS

The war in Lebanon has upended daily life for children like Nour, 14, and Ali, 5, and hundreds of thousands of others. Homes, schools, hospitals, and water systems have been damaged or destroyed. This means no classes, no easy medical access, and no certainty. Parties to conflict must end the use of explosive weapons in populated areas.

When UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Liam Neeson visited a class in Juba, South Sudan, the boys had a clear message. The girls in their school are smart. Strong. Full of ambition. But more than half of girls in the country are married before 18, ending their education dreams. Today, boys are speaking up to end child marriage and help keep girls in the classroom. Will you join them? #GirlGoals

Rahima, 14, from Nigeria, proudly holds her arithmetic sticks - simple tools that mark the beginning of her maths journey 6 years earlier. Today, she is a secondary school student, and her smile reminds us that every achievement begins with small steps and a lot of determination. #ForEveryChild, education.

UNICEF is deeply concerned by confirmed Ebola outbreaks in DR Congo and Uganda, and the growing risk to children and vulnerable communities across the region. A total of 246 suspected cases have been reported so far, with 80 suspected deaths recorded in Ituri Province, eastern DRC, and Uganda has also reported two cases, with one death. The volatile security environment, ongoing access constraints, and high population mobility are increasing the risk of rapid transmission across affected and neighbouring areas. Children are especially vulnerable to the impacts of Ebola outbreaks, including disruptions to essential services, loss of parents and caregivers, stigma, psychosocial distress, and increased protection risks. UNICEF and partners are scaling up efforts to protect and support children and families amid the outbreak. Learn more about UNICEF’s response: https://lnkd.in/eB7c7hpS

What were you like in the 90s? From dancing the macarena to using cellphones, the 90s were home to trends and lifechanging inventions – ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) is one of them. RUTF made malnutrition treatment accessible closer to home, helping 9 out of 10 children recover in a matter of weeks. But millions of children still need what we started in the 90s and together, we can make it happen. https://lnkd.in/eqiS9yh7

Nadine, 11, is delighted to receive a school kit containing a bag, notebooks, pens and other school supplies. “Receiving this bag makes me want to never give up on school,” she says, holding it close to her. In Grand Sud, Haiti, children like Nadine have studied under difficult conditions - from the impact of the 2021 earthquake to a volatile security situation and limited access to public services. UNICEF and partners opened two new schools in the region last month and distributed school kits, bringing renewed hope and opportunities to eager students. Every child in Haiti has the right to access education in safety.
