Four in five households in #Lebanon are struggling to afford basic needs. For children, the consequences are devastating. Too many are going hungry, missing health care and education, being pushed into work and experiencing psychological distress. UNICEF’s new report, An Enduring Nightmare, warns that without urgent and sustained action, an entire generation risks carrying the scars of this crisis into adulthood. The suffering of children must stop. Their futures cannot wait. #ForEveryChild, hope Check the full press release: uni.cf/4iQALzk

Our thoughts are with the families who have lost loved ones and those anxiously awaiting news of the missing. UNICEF reiterates the call for urgent approval of heavy machinery, specialized equipment, engine oil and fuel for search-and-rescue operations. Essential shelter supplies must also reach the most vulnerable families without delay.

This was a school. Children learned here. Laughter once filled these classrooms. In Gaza, children are being deprived of their right to education. Schools must never be targets. Every child has the right to learn safely #ProtectEducationFromAttack

Every month @UNICEF enables 400 trucks to deliver drinking water to some 150,000 people in #Gaza City, including many children. Water trucking saves lives but restoring systems is the sustainable solution. Engine oil, fuel and essential equipment must enter at scale.

UNICEF is scaling up its Ebola response in the DR Congo, supporting government-led efforts across 50+ high-risk health zones and reaching 1.4M+ people with life-saving prevention messages.   More support is urgently needed to stop Ebola and protect children and their families.
