“This delivery will help save lives, but it does not begin to meet the level of need. Without sustained and reliable access, too many children will continue to be cut off from the basic services they need to survive," said Sheldon Yett, our Representative unicef.link/43xaHQT

“For a generation of young people whose education has already been severely disrupted by conflict, recognized qualifications are the foundation for continued learning and future opportunities,” says UNICEF Regional Director @EvaUNICEF. Full statement: unicef.org/press-releases/un…

Thank you to the European Union for its continued support to the Ebola response and for strengthening health emergency preparedness. Together, we are helping protect communities while enhancing surveillance, preparedness & coordinated response capacities. @eu_echo @ECHO_CESAfrica

Exciting milestone! A print-on-demand copy of #TheJourneyofHope via Lulu was delivered in Montreal in just 8 days! What began as the story of a young boy growing up in rural Africa is now reaching readers across the world. You can access the book here: ln.run/KMquD

Very grateful to the European Union for their continued partnership and support of the Ebola response. Today, another shipment of emergency supplies departed for Bunia, eastern DRC, helping protect children, families and frontline health workers. @eu_echo @ECHO_CESAfrica

In a race against time to contain #Ebola in north-eastern DR Congo, more than 100 metric tonnes of emergency supplies mobilized through @UNICEFSupply began arriving this morning in Ituri, with the support of @EU_Commission and @eu_echo. This critical assistance will help protect frontline workers and nearly 100,000 people — including children and families already living in an extremely fragile humanitarian context. Rapid action and sustained solidarity remain essential to stop transmission and save lives. @UNICEF @UNICEFAfrica @UNICEFDRC

UNICEF is shocked & deeply saddened by reports of the deaths of 4 boys, aged 7-14 in Aweil North County, after a grenade explosion. Our condolences to their families & thoughts w/ the 2 injured children still receiving medical care. Urgent action is needed to protect every child.

Menstrual health must never be treated as a “girls’ issue” alone. It concerns all of us. Boys, men, teachers, communities, leaders, and families. Today, let's mark Menstrual Hygiene Day. But tomorrow, and every day after, let's continue doing the work 👇 bit.ly/4nWbvIo

Today, we celebrate Africa’s hope — its youth. It is a moment to stand in solidarity and act on the growing momentum of Africa-led solutions shaping peace, development and prosperity across the continent. #AfricaDay

Stronger supply chains mean better health for children. Today, @AbouKampo visited EPSS, where UNICEF is partnering to improve vaccine safety and supply, upgrade logistics systems, and support the health workforce.

Séance de travail avec une mission du @GPforEducation pour faire le bilan d'un partenariat avec le @MENRS4 qui change des vies : classes construites, #enfants réintégrés, éducation inclusive renforcée. Ensemble, nous continuons. Parce que chaque enfant au 🇧🇮 mérite d'apprendre.📚

Happening tomorrow! Media briefing as @UNICEFUganda, partnering with @GovUganda, launches its 2026–2030 Country Programme — a renewed commitment to accelerate child rights & ensure #EveryChild survives, thrives & reaches their full potential. #InvestInUGchildren #UNICEFUGCPD2030

In a world of plenty no child should die from malnutrition. Unicef is responding. But more global action is needed to save and improve the lives of children.👇

With thanks to @StateDept vital supplies of Ready‑to‑Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) have arrived in #Akobo this week, 150 cartons to treat severe acute malnutrition among children under five. Already 51 severely malnourished children have begun treatment. Every sachet counts.✈️💙

Today, 23 May 2026, in Kampala, I convened a High-Level Ebola Ministerial Cross-Border Coordination Meeting with Ministers of Health from Uganda, DRC, and South Sudan, alongside @WHO, @UNICEF, @UNFPA, and more than 100 partners. We endorsed a joint continental preparedness and response plan requiring USD 318,973,389 to support response operations in affected countries and preparedness across high-risk countries. Under the leadership of H.E. President Yoweri Museveni, we sincerely thank the Government of Uganda for accepting to host the operational HQ of the Ebola IMST in Kampala. The meeting was followed by a Special Emergency Press Briefing attended by more than 300 participants from across Africa and beyond. —— Aujourd’hui, 23 mai 2026, à Kampala, j’ai convoqué une réunion ministérielle transfrontalière de haut niveau sur la coordination de la lutte contre Ebola, en présence des ministres de la Santé de l’Ouganda, de la RDC et du Soudan du Sud, ainsi que de l’OMS, de l’UNICEF, de l’UNFPA et de plus de 100 partenaires.

What a great week: In the context of UNICEF Rwanda@40 signed up to plant fruit trees in all primary schools & model ECDs, got hands-on with tree grafting, & build memories with kids. Thax to incredible partners: @EnvironmentRw @RwandaEducation, @OneAcreFund, @RwandaLocalGov

Children’s safety and access to learning must remain protected in every circumstance. We stand firmly with all efforts toward a peaceful resolution, because every child deserves to learn and thrive without disruption.

Risk of famine persists as nearly 19.5 million people face acute food insecurity in Sudan. Conflict, displacement and restricted humanitarian access leave more than 825,000 children at risk of death from severe malnutrition in 2026. Statement ⬇️ unicef.org/press-releases/ri…

As the civil conflict enters its fourth year, the protracted hunger crisis in Sudan shows little sign of abating. Violence, displacement and severe humanitarian access constraints are impacting children, families and communities across the country. Statement from @FAO, @WFP and UNICEF: unicef.link/4nwLsal
