“Gaza City remains home to tens of thousands of children. Shoeless children push grandparents in wheelchairs around rubble. Amputee children struggle through the dust. Mothers carry children whose skin is bleeding from rashes. Children shudder at the relentless airstrikes. And children gaze skyward tracking the fire from helicopters and quadcopters.” - UNICEF Spokesperson James Elder. Nowhere is safe in the Gaza strip. Ceasefire NOW. Read more: https://lnkd.in/greE7gaQ

We’re heartbroken to share that 9-year-old Jana, whose story we shared recently, has passed away from severe malnutrition. Tess Ingram from UNICEF Middle East and North Africa- who was with Jana last year and again in August of this year - shares this tragic update. This should not have been Jana’s life. This should not be the life of any child in Gaza. The international community must continue to push for more aid to be allowed into Gaza and for an immediate and long-lasting ceasefire.

This month’s UNICEF Spotlight reveals how children must remain at the heart of Syria’s journey forward. Read more below.

In Sudan, education has collapsed. About 14 million children - out of 17 million in the country - are out of school. Hundreds of schools have been damaged or destroyed. UNICEF is supporting Alternative Learning Programme centres like this one for girls in River Nile State. Every child in Sudan should have access to education in safety.
