Thousands of children are losing their lives to explosive weapons in conflicts around the world every year. Many more are getting injured. Killing and maiming is a grave violation against children in conflict. Join UNICEF in calling on all parties to conflict to end the use of explosive weapons in populated areas. #ProtectChildrenInConflict

Thirteen-year-old Azuz’s parents used to celebrate every educational milestone that he and his siblings achieved. When their home Al Fasher, Sudan, was hit by shelling, they knew it was time to leave. Their journey to a site for people internally displaced in Atbara, in northern Sudan, lasted more than a month. “All of us, me and my siblings were scared throughout the entire journey until we reached here,” Azuz shares. They feel safer and more at peace now at the site. And having missed school earlier, he and his siblings are catching up on lessons through a UNICEF-supported alternative learning programme. Azuz focuses on his studies as a pathway to a better future but his wish remains. “I wish to see an end to this war, and Al Fasher returns to what it used to be; people can go back home safely.” Children like Azuz and his siblings need a ceasefire NOW.
