What ceasefire is this? At least 130 children reportedly killed in Gaza since it took effect in October 2025.

“Children in Gaza are not statistics.”
My briefing today @ungeneva.bsky.social
The fragile Gaza ceasefire keeps showing the world that celebrations were perhaps too premature. Over one million children are exhausted and can no longer endure more violence and death. All parties to the conflict must do anything and everything to uphold their agreement.

Children in Sudan have been at the sharpest edge of this endless horror. Displaced, killed, injured, abused, starved. It needs to end.

Beyond the initial excitement & optimism, over one million children in Gaza now need consistent actions & humanity. The bombs & killings lessened, but many other deadly threats remain. They have been through hell for over two years. www.unicef.org/press-releas...

Explosive remnants of war are a massive risk for at least 5 million children in Syria.
Nearly 300,000 deadly devices are scattered across the country.
UNICEF’s Ricardo Pires highlights the challenges.
Horrifying reports of at least 200 children killed and 303 injured since the ceasefire collapsed in Gaza. That’s over 500 children in about 48 hours. Unprecedented brutality after 15 months of unrelenting war. Humanity will struggle to come back from this.

Over a decade of devastating conflict has left communities across Syria littered with deadly remnants of war, including an estimated 324,000 pieces of unexploded ordnance scattered across the country. This danger affects approximately 5 million children living in areas contaminated with UXO and landmines, which have become the leading cause of child casualties in Syria. - Ricardo Pires, UNICEF Communication Manager
“Every day without action is another that threatens the children of Syria. These children – who have lived their entire lives in danger – deserve to live the rest of their lives in safety.” - UNICEF Communication Manager Ricardo Pires.
Full statement: uniceflink.org/3WjMRVx
Girls and boys in #Syria continue to suffer the brutal impact of unexploded ordnance (UXO) at an alarming rate.
In December '24 alone, @unicef.org received reports of 116 children killed/injured by UXO, an average of nearly four per day.

It is a grim irony that children, women, and young girls bear the brunt of conflicts driven by the decisions of a tiny handful of powerful men—decisions that cause immense suffering.
Good to join @carlnasman.bsky.social this weekend to discuss the toll 2024's conflicts have taken on children
“Gaza death trap” by Doctors Without Borders (MSF) says there are “clear signs of ethnic cleansing” by Israeli forces in the Palestinian territory.

“Day after day, week after week for nearly 14 months now, Gaza has been nothing short of hell on Earth. No child should have to endure such atrocities and carnage, and no parent should have to bury their child. Gaza has become a graveyard for children and families.”
