Humanitarian aid isn’t just about survival today, it's also about giving hope for tomorrow❤️ For over 100 years, we've worked to keep children safe, healthy & learning, no matter what. Standing up for children’s rights is our history, present, & future. We aren’t stopping now.
The so-called “evacuation orders” in Deir al-Balah, #Gaza are disrupting our work, displacing our staff, & putting the lives of children at even greater risk. Despite constant danger & growing restrictions, our teams are doing everything they can to reach children and families❤️

Yesterday's ruling by the International Court of Justice marks a monumental victory for young climate activists worldwide🌎 It brings fresh hope for stronger international protection for children against the devastating effects of the climate emergency💚 #ClimateChange #ICJ

Seeking food & aid should never be a death sentence, but this is the reality for people in #Gaza⚠️ Today, 130+ NGOs are calling to end the deadly Israeli distribution scheme, return to a UN-led coordination mechanism & lift Israel's blockade on aid➡️ bit.ly/4no6U0R

Any war is a war on children. But right now, children in the Middle East are facing repeated cycles of violence. Recent Israeli and Iranian air strikes are adding to an already extremely volatile regional context. We need lasting peace and justice for every child now❤️

We stand with every child - so they always feel pride in who they are ❤️ For over 100 years, we've protected children's rights. We won’t stop today. Happy #PrideMonth🌈
