Earlier this month, thousands of families had to flee their homes again following attacks in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. “They spent the whole night shooting close to our home," shared Johanne Antoine, a mother who had to seek safety with her four children. They need peace NOW.

Ten-year-old Mohammad has fled his home in Rafah. “My family and I do not know where we are going. The bombing does not stop and there is no safe place here.” Children and families in Gaza have been displaced multiple times. Nowhere is safe. An immediate ceasefire is needed.

In the past 2 days, no fuel has entered Gaza. Without fuel, water stops, hospitals can't function, and medicine and food cannot move. The population is already at risk of famine. We need fuel in Gaza now.

"I like to play with my friends. We play rope and ball," says 12-year-old Nabintu. She attends one of the 200 UNICEF-supported temporary learning spaces in DR Congo. Spaces like these help children learn, make new friends and gain a sense of normalcy during emergencies.

We welcome the news that several children have been safely repatriated from northern Syria. Children affected by armed conflict must be able to rebuild their lives. For foreign children stranded in Syria and Iraq, safe repatriation is an essential step towards achieving this.

13-year-old Noura is in a centre for displaced families in El Fasher, North Darfur, having fled her home when war broke out in Sudan. But the threat of a looming military attack in El Fasher endangers the lives and well-being of children like her. Every child needs peace.

Today I met 2-year-old Yoasse, severely burned in a cooking accident at Lushagala camp, in DRC. Her family, displaced by violence, couldn't afford healthcare but thanks to @UNICEF ’s mobile clinic in the camp, she is now receiving free treatment.

UNICEF continues to call for a ceasefire in Gaza. “I don’t recall meeting anyone in Rafah who hadn’t lost a loved one, or their home; mostly both. People are exhausted. They are malnourished. Children are sick.” - UNICEF Spokesperson @1james_elder .
