    In Gaza, one of the critical health services children missed out on in the last two years was routine vaccinations. UNICEF and partners have launched an immunization campaign to reach over 40,000 children, to protect them from deadly but preventable diseases like measles, polio and diphtheria. The ceasefire must continue and be respected for the well-being of children.

    Two years ago, UNICEF launched the Today and Tomorrow Initiative (TTI) to help protect children from growing climate and disaster risks. In Mozambique, over 150,000 people benefitted from climate-resilient water services enabled by innovative technologies and private-sector partnerships. TTI mobilizes funds, builds capacity, and when disasters strike, TTI’s insurance complements government efforts, providing rapid support to vulnerable families in need. “The support from UNICEF was timely. It alleviated our immediate financial burden, enabling me to focus on my health and my baby,” says Pramita from Bangladesh. Her family was among over 8,000 households that received emergency cash within days after the cyclone, pre-arranged through TTI’s insurance coverage. TTI shows how reducing risks today and securing financing for tomorrow, work together to protect children and vulnerable communities from growing climate and disaster threats.

    186 nutrition centres have closed across South Sudan in 2025. This means that babies suffering from severe acute malnutrition - like Tito - are at risk of being left without lifelines, without the care they need to survive. UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Liam Neeson reminds us that investing in children is a necessity and that funding must urgently be maintained so that every child can survive and thrive.

    More than 1.7 million children have been impacted in the aftermath of Super Typhoon Uwan [Fung-wong], which is the 21st to make landfall in the Philippines this year. The severe storm has wreaked havoc to children’s homes, schools, and access to health services across 16 regions in the archipelago that is already exhausted by multiple climate-related and geophysical shocks this year. “Children and their families are barely climbing out of one crisis before another strikes, pushing them back to zero. As the world experiences more frequent and intense climate shocks, the most vulnerable children should not have to pay the highest price,” said Kyungsun Kim, UNICEF Philippines. Many children now face heightened risks of disease, malnutrition and mental health distress. Homes, schools and health centers have been damaged or destroyed, forcing families into crowded evacuation centres. UNICEF and partners are responding swiftly. Pre-positioned supplies from UNICEF’s warehouses in Manila and Cotabato are being mobilised to reach affected families quickly. Emergency nutrition supplies will be distributed and cash transfers will be facilitated to vulnerable households. Children need sustained #ClimateAction and their needs prioritized.
