Critical infrastructure - like this paediatric hospital - has been destroyed in Gaza. Thousands of children have been left without vital health services.
@UNICEFpalestine’s Hamish Young outlines our efforts to access and recover medical equipment, and reiterates the need to protect hospitals and all civilian infrastructure.

"We're bringing baby food... nutritional supplies for malnourished children. Do you really think anyone wants to divert that?"
UNICEF's Hamish Young tells @krishgm the aid delivery system in Gaza is "chaotic and uncontrolled."

Children in Gaza continue to be killed, injured and deprived of aid. The few trucks that have entered with life-saving supplies are nowhere near sufficient and have yet to reach those in desperate need.
We're running out of supplies inside Gaza, and we're running out of time.

It is unconscionable that over 45 children have reportedly been killed in airstrikes in Gaza in two days.
This should shock the world but is largely met with indifference.
Nowhere is safe for children in Gaza. This horror must stop.

The lives of one million children are at stake.
No aid has been allowed into the #Gaza Strip since 2 March 2025, leading to shortages of food, safe water, shelter, and medical supplies.
Without these essentials, malnutrition, diseases and other preventable conditions will likely surge, leading to an increase in preventable child deaths.
The ceasefire must be reinstated and sustained and international humanitarian law must be respected, including allowing humanitarian aid in immediately.

Once a lifeline for thousands, Kamal Adwan Hospital in #Gaza now stands in ruins. Yet, healthcare workers keep fighting to save lives.
💙With support from donors @UNICEF is delivering vital aid, but much more is needed.

Families returning to northern #Gaza are shocked by the scale of destruction.
UNICEF’s Tess Ingram shares the reality on the ground and the immense challenges people are facing.

Over the past year, more than 2.5 million people have benefited from the response activities of Health Cluster partners.
As the conflict in #Gaza continues, the humanitarian health needs remain critical.
In 2024, the Health Cluster has delivered:
⚕️9 million primary healthcare consultations
🩻 476,000 trauma and emergency-related
interventions
📦$114 million worth of health supplies and equipment
An immediate and sustained #ceasefire is urgently needed. Continued commitment to addressing humanitarian needs in both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank is also essential.

Around 93,000 #children were reached yesterday on the first day of round 2 of #polio vaccination campaign in the center of the #Gaza_Strip.
Together with the Palestinian MoH, @WHOoPt, @UNRWA, @UNICEF continues to deliver for #Children.

Horrific scenes from Rufaida school in #Gaza where many mothers and children queuing at a malnutrition treatment point were killed and injured in an airstrike today.
At least two health staff of @UNICEF partner were also killed.
Our deepest condolences to the families and their loved one.
This attack serves as yet another stark reminder of the immense toll being inflicted on children and mothers in Gaza. They are not targets; they must be protected at all times.
These attacks against children must stop now.

.@UNICEF is urgently calling on the parties to refrain from military escalation in Rafah Governorate in Gaza where over 600K children and their families have been displaced–many of them more than once.

Quality education is a human right.
It can transform lives by helping people overcome poverty, inequality and discrimination.

Today I briefed the Security Council after my visit to Gaza. I’m haunted by what I saw & heard.
The effects of the violence perpetrated on children is catastrophic. The violence must end! All hostages, especially children, must be released. My remarks▶️ unicef.org/press-releases/un…
