Child malnutrition in Madagascar is projected to rise 54% as droughts, floods and cyclones devastate harvests. Save the Children is providing nutrition, clean water and healthcare while ensuring children’s voices shape climate solutions.

20,000 children in Gaza have been killed in the last 23 months. That’s one child in Gaza killed every hour. If the international community does not step up, an entire generation of children in Gaza will be lost. We need a definitive ceasefire and immediate access to deliver aid.

A devastating 6.0 earthquake in eastern Afghanistan has killed 600+ people and injured 3,000+, many of them kids. Homes have been destroyed, roads are blocked & aftershocks continue. Our teams are on the ground delivering urgent aid. Read our statement. 👇 www.savethechildren.org/us/about-us/...

Over 132,000 children in Gaza are at risk of dying from malnutrition. Famine is spreading. With timely care, children can survive, but they can’t wait. Donate to our Children’s Emergency Fund to help now ➡️ bit.ly/3UJA4dR

These children's lives in Gaza were stolen by war. Every single death preventable. We can’t bring back the over 19,000 killed, but we must help the children who will die without a lasting ceasefire and immediate aid surge.

The situation in #Sudan is deteriorating fast. Markets torched, villages attacked, families trapped, 3 in 4 families now have at least one malnourished child. We need an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and safe, unrestricted access for aid. ⤵️ bit.ly/4f8tWVN

The Israeli government’s siege is starving the people of #Gaza. Now, humanitarian organizations are witnessing their own colleagues & partners waste away before their eyes. We've joined with over 100 organizations to demand urgent action. Read the joint statement ⤵️ bit.ly/453Kp9m

Afghanistan’s humanitarian crisis deepens as funding cuts leave 3M+ without essential medical care. In Nangarhar, a pediatrician says infant mortality is up 3–4% since the cuts. Isobel Yeung and @mickbk.bsky.social explain👇 cnn.it/4flVLdD

We're deeply concerned by the recent escalation in hostilities marked by air strikes between Israel & Iran. The risk of a broader regional confrontation is real & deeply worrying. We're calling for immediate de-escalation & the protection of civilians, especially children.

Never in my lifetime did I imagine kids would be left to endure such unthinkable trauma. The aid reaching Gaza is nowhere near enough. Most can’t access it. It won’t stop the hunger, illness & suffering. I joined @facethenation.bsky.social to talk about this crisis. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHjP...

SaveUS CEO shares with @BiannaGolodryga, the new aid hub model in Gaza is a "woefully inadequate plan, badly executed." Children need more than just food. They need medical care, clean water, and above all, they need the fighting to stop. Watch the full clip: www.cnn.com/2025/06/03/T...

Our president and CEO, Janti Soeripto, spoke today at the UN Security Council in a session focused on how to protect civilians living in armed conflict. Sharing direct accounts from children in our programs and our staff, Janti called on member states to “do your job.”

The House of Representatives has approved a reconciliation bill. We welcome steps to boost the Child Tax Credit & child care support—but proposed SNAP changes risk leaving families worse off. More in our statement. ⤵️ bit.ly/4ktjvxo

The crisis in Gaza has grown to unimaginable levels. Now, the UN warns that 14,000 babies could die in the next 48 hours if aid doesn’t reach them. Humanitarians must be given unimpeded, immediate access to deliver life-saving aid and address the scale of the deadly crisis.

Millions of kids are facing severe malnutrition. Conflict, climate disasters, and aid cuts are pushing them to the brink. This nutrient-rich peanut paste is powerful—it can bring a child back from severe malnutrition in six weeks. $67 can help provide that life-saving treatment ➡️ bit.ly/4dDkvgB

In Baidoa, Somalia, nearly 800,000 people have been displaced by conflict and drought. Aisha Majid, Media Manager at Save the Children, shares firsthand how recent funding cuts are threatening critical health and nutrition services for children.

Since March 2 no aid has entered Gaza. That means no food, no clean water, no medicine.️ This is not a crisis of supply – it’s a crisis of access. Children in Gaza are starving – not due to lack of food, but because aid is being blocked.

Two years after the earthquakes in Türkiye & Syria, many children still need mental health support. This #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, we’re proud to support the Dream Van—bringing healing & hope through psychosocial care. 🚌✨

Madleen’s ocean is full of colorful fish, shiny shells, and coral reefs she knows by heart. This #EarthDay, we’re listening to kids like her — because when they talk about protecting nature, we should all pay attention. 🌿🌊

Two years is too long. For two years, conflict and widespread violence in Sudan have caused immense suffering for children. 🧵

An average of one child every 10 seconds has been forced to flee their homes since the conflict began in Sudan two years ago, making it the largest child displacement crisis in the world, with over 6.5 million children uprooted from their homes. 🧵

8-year-old Waleed fled conflict in Iraq and now lives in a displacement camp in Syria. Through our Healing and Education Through the Arts program, he uses art to heal, grow, and dream big—like becoming a footballer one day. 🎨⚽️ This #WorldArtDay, we celebrate the healing power of creativity. ❤️

Following last week’s powerful #earthquake in #Myanmar, Save the Children is on the ground delivering lifesaving aid. We’re providing food, water, hygiene kits, emergency shelter, medical care, and mental health support for children. Donate to support our response today. ➡️ bit.ly/42elmie

Over 1M children in Myanmar need urgent support. In crises, kids face hunger, disease and exploitation. We're racing to provide food, water, shelter & mental health care. Their futures are at stake—help us reach them. Donate now to aid children in Myanmar, Thailand and beyond ➡️ bit.ly/42elmie

Some things aren’t a joke. Cutting foreign aid puts millions of children at risk. With 200M kids relying on lifesaving aid, wealthy nations are turning their backs—shutting clinics, ending meals, and fueling crises. We can’t let this happen. Every child deserves a future.

Recovery takes time, resources and resilience. Six months after Hurricane Helene, we’re still here—helping child care centers in FL, GA, NC & TN reopen and providing mental health support in NC & TN. When disaster strikes, we stay as long as it takes to help families heal.

Our teams are launching an emergency response to ensure children and their families can get the support they need to mitigate the worst impacts of this disaster. We are working around the clock alongside local partners to scale up critical support to children across the worst impacted areas. 🧵

A powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar today, sending tremors across the region—including northern and western Thailand, even reaching Bangkok 1,000 km (over 600 miles) away from the epicenter. 🧵

Save the Children is responding to the impact of two strong earthquakes which struck Myanmar and impacted neighboring countries including Thailand. While the full extent of the damage is still unclear, we know children are the most vulnerable following disaster. 🧵

“No child should have to beg, 'Promise me I won’t die.'” Save the Children UK staff member, Shaima, is based in Gaza. As families return to what’s left of their homes, she describes the devastation families are returning to and speaks with children to ask about their hopes for the future. 🧵⬇️

This #WorldWaterDay, water isn’t just survival—it’s opportunity. 💧Thanks to solar power, Atika’s community in Indonesia now has clean water close to home. 🌱 Safer journeys 📚 More learning ❤ A resilient future Millions of children still face water scarcity. Together, we can create lasting change.

The futures of millions of children – particularly those in rural communities – depend on federal education programs. These programs help ensure children can access the learning opportunities they need to thrive. Any cuts to these programs could have lifelong consequences for kids. (1/2)

In Mississippi, first-graders eagerly participate in a read-aloud session as part of our Grade Level Proficiency afterschool literacy program. Programs like these are critical in helping kids develop strong reading skills early—

The resumption of hostilities in Gaza is nothing short of a death sentence for children. Dozens of children are among the hundreds reportedly killed by airstrikes overnight.

Intense fighting has made Sudan the world’s largest child displacement crisis, with 5.8 million children uprooted from their homes.

Foreign aid saves lives—so what happens when it’s cut? Save the Children CEO, @saveusceo.bsky.social, breaks down what these cuts mean for children and why we must act now. When funding disappears, kids lose access to food, healthcare, and protection. Learn more: bit.ly/4iOgTtb
