This is heartbreaking. Around 7 in 10 children making the journey across the Central Mediterranean migration route to Italy do so without a parent or legal guardian. This means that most children who died or disappeared along this route were travelling alone. Many of the children attempting to cross the route are fleeing war, conflict, violence and poverty, which continue to drive displacement and force them to seek safety and opportunities elsewhere. The protection of children must be prioritized at every stage. Details: https://lnkd.in/gyY74DeU

“Since the ceasefire broke on 18 March, nearly 600 children in Gaza have reportedly been killed and over 1,600 injured. All parties to this conflict must respect international humanitarian law. Protect civilians. Facilitate aid. Release hostages. Renew a ceasefire.” - UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell.

This year, our Goodwill Ambassador David Beckham is celebrating a big milestone: turning 50. Together with UNICEF, David has seen the difference that protection, education, health and more can make in children's lives. Right now, the world is a very tough place for millions of children. Their rights are at risk. And a global funding crisis is leaving them even more vulnerable. That's why David is launching a fundraising appeal in support of UNICEF's life-saving work. Ahead of his 50th birthday, he's calling on his family, friends and partners to help create opportunities for children to dream and thrive. Donate today: https://lnkd.in/gzAyAAv6

Two years of violence and displacement have shattered the lives of millions of children across Sudan. Famine is spreading, vaccination rates are dropping, and about 90 per cent of children are out of school. Funding for life-saving services is critically low, threatening to halt essential health, nutrition, education and protection programmes for children and families and costing lives. In 2024, UNICEF and partners have provided psychosocial counseling, education and protection services to 2.7 million children and caregivers in Sudan, reached over 9.8 million children and families with safe drinking water, and screened 6.7 million children for malnutrition and provided life-saving treatment for 422,000 of them. “Sudan is the biggest humanitarian crisis in the world today, but it is not getting the world’s attention,” said UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell. “We cannot abandon the children of Sudan. We have the expertise and the resolve to scale up our support, but we need access and sustained funding. Most of all, children in Sudan need this horrific conflict to end.” Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gjbHewbe
