UNICEF has prioritized children’s protection and essential needs amid many challenges - and we will continue to do so. What children in Gaza really need is long-lasting peace and the opportunity to rebuild their futures with dignity and protection.

“What we need is for UNICEF and its humanitarian partners to be allowed to do our jobs.” Read UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell’s op-ed in @nytimes.com on the urgent need to regain safe, sustained aid access to Gaza at scale. ⬇️

This is an important read: ‘When Science Is Local, Silence Is Global’ sciencewatchdog.id/2025/05/29/w... “These imbalances are not merely symbolic—they determine what counts as global knowledge, which research gets visibility, and whose crises are deemed worthy of global scientific mobilization.”

So great to catch up, Mariela! Looking forward to Puerto Rico - and maybe more continents in the future 😁

71,000 children in Gaza will need urgent treatment for acute malnutrition, according to the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification report. With supplies running out, it's imperative that aid be allowed in for children’s health and survival.
