As the ceasefire continues in #Gaza, #UNICEF will continue the humanitarian operations; providing safe water and emergency sanitation, but at the same time begin the process of recovery and reconstruction.

29.05.2025 15:52 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The only thing children are seeing coming into Gaza right now are bombs and missiles.
More and more children are being killed because of Israel's blockade.
The level of illegality is almost unprecedented.
The aid restrictions must end. There must be a ceasefire now.

UNICEFβs Jonathan Crickx spoke to RTΓ This Week about the alarming and catastrophic crisis for children in Gaza.
He said children are suffering from constant intense bombardment and severe malnutrition.

#gaza
The killing of at least 45 children in Gaza in the last two days is another reminder that children are suffering first and foremost.
There are no safe spaces left anymore.
The daily suffering and killing of children must end immediately.
#gaza #ceasefirenow
Since March 2, 2025, no aid or commercial goods have been allowed into #Gaza β the longest period of aid blockage since the start of the war. Supplies are rapidly running out.
A ceasefire must be reinstated. The lives of nearly 1 million children are at stake.
As violence returns to Gaza, childrenβs lives are once again in extreme danger. This war has cost the lives of tens of thousands of children, and last night at least another 130 were reportedly killed - the largest single-day child death toll in the last year.

Wow. This speech, with English subtitles, from Israeli MK Gilad Kariv, whoβs also a Reform rabbi, is π₯π π€.
The racist messianic legislators heβs addressing wonβt change but it needed to be said to their faces & is something to behold.
If the [Irish] Government capitulates to Donald Trump, it will have the blood of children on its hands

The ceasefire deal has begun and UNICEF trucks with water, hygiene kits and nutrition items are entering the Gaza Strip.
A ceasefire agreement is a critical first step, but it must be upheld. Parties to conflict must ensure safe, unimpeded access for aid to reach every child.

Key facts from AAAS/SciLine page on climate/wildfire connection
The peer-reviewed science shows that the primary factor behind the increase in wildfire extent in the western U.S. is increased aridity and fuel load due to human-caused warming.
