💙 Every child has a right to play without fear. One year since the #Gaza ceasefire, many children still need support to recover. Through mental health & psychosocial support, @UNICEF helps children express themselves, reconnect with friends & regain a sense of normalcy.

📚A chair to sit on. A desk to write & draw.✏️ That’s what children in #Gaza, like anywhere, need for classrooms. UNICEF is pleased to deliver new school furniture to learning centres, helping create more conducive spaces for children from KG to Grade 3 to learn, play & grow.

One year since the #Gaza ceasefire 60,000 children are growing up without one, or both, parents. Norhan, 16, is one of them. After mum was killed, she took over the care of baby Narjis & other siblings. Norhan dreams of being a pharmacist but she doesn't expect it to come true.

One year since the ceasefire, more than 500,000 children have returned to some learning across the Gaza Strip. But childhood is still too often defined by survival Hamza & Jamal dream of returning to class, but instead spend their days working to earn money & help their family.

With support from the Government of #China @cidcaofficial, life-saving medical supplies have arrived in the #Gaza Strip for distribution to six hospitals and health facilities serving children and families in need. #ForEveryChild, health

“Breaking news! Today, I’m happy because I’m going to the sea!”, says Ahmad, 7. Every child needs moments of joy, to play, to heal. @UNICEF is helping children in Gaza express their feelings, cope with challenges & find hope for the future. #WorldMentalHealthDay

🎒School days are back in Gaza. @UNICEF is bringing 350k children back to learning through 200+ learning centres across the #GazaStrip. A safe place to learn. A teacher by their side. A future to build. Thanks to our donors including @eu_echo, @SwedeninJERU & @ItalyMFA_int.

And they're back, finally! Some hope for more than 330,000 children across the #Gaza Strip on the first day of term at 200 learning centres supported by @UNICEF. Routine, stability & social connection - being in class restores some sense of childhood. #GenerationHope

Children across the Gaza Strip are returning to learning after 3-years of no formal school. Despite 98% of schools being destroyed or damaged, UNICEF is supporting more than 330,000 children to get back to class. #ForEveryChild, education

“Summer camp takes us away from the atmosphere of war. Here, we can forget the difficult things for a while,” says Tala, 13.   Across the Gaza Strip & West Bank, @UNICEF-supported summer camps gave children a space to learn, play & simply be children. 👇 unicef.org/sop/stories/pales…

The coming winter rains & freezing temperatures are another threat for children across the #Gaza Strip & West Bank.   UNICEF urgently needs US$97.5M to provide 540,000 children with vital winter assistance.     Learn more: unicef.org/sop/press-release…

All 6 wastewater treatment plants in #Gaza have shut down & 70% of sewage pumping stations are out of service. @UNICEF & partners are restoring critical sanitation systems, including Sheikh Ejleen, helping protect 700,000 people from serious health risks.

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.
