Just because you can’t see it, does that mean it isn’t there? That is a question easily invoked by photographs from UNICEF China’s 2008 campaign to raise awareness about the “invisibility of poverty” affecting children in China. In a series of poignant photographs, homeless children in Beijing were painted identical to their surroundings so that they were almost indiscernible from the cityscape around them.

"In Rafah I saw children who had amputations, but were living in tents because hospitals are full. Those children – and many, many more – are now being told to go to zones such as Al Mawasi. The so called “safe zone” of Al Mawasi: where UNICEF reported on a little boy, Mustafa, who went to get some parsley for the family dinner. Mustafa was shot in the head, and killed … in the “safe zone” of Al Mawasi"

"5-year-old Alina is practicing riding her bike, followed by her friends. A moment of lightheartedness on some meadow in the northwest of Ukraine, banishing the dark clouds of misery, for a while at least. The night before, a drone strike set fire to an oil depot nearby. This time it was just an oil depot, not a residential building, not a hospital, not a school"
"Extreme #weather displaced 43,000,000 children in past six years, #Unicef reports - At least 43 million child displacements were linked to #extreme weather events over the past six years, the equivalent of 20,000 children being forced to abandon their homes and school every single day, new research has found.
#Floods and #storms accounted for 95% of recorded child displacement between 2016 and 2021, according to the first-of-its-kind analysis by Unicef and the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). The rest – more than 2 million children – were displaced by #wildfires and #drought."

Of course, we ALL love #AudreyHepburn at any age, but I am especially fascinated by her in her later years, when her focus was #UNICEF and giving back to the children of the world.
I love her forever.
Find her audiobook, AUDREY HEPBURN'S ENCHANTED TALES, where she narrates fairytales with an earnest, romantic, childlike wonder, underscored with the music of #MauriceRavel .
I will improve your life!

UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell says 13,000 children has been killed and countless others injured during intense Israeli attacks on the enclave.
“Homes, schools and hospitals in ruin. Teachers, doctors and humanitarians killed. Famine is imminent. The level and speed of destruction are shocking. Children need a ceasefire NOW,” Russell wrote on X.
The #UNICEF chief Catherine Russell says, "The body begins to consume itself, and it is a very painful death process. "
"The entire ward is completely quiet because the children and babies do not even have the energy to cry."
"My view on #Gaza: it is not just a humanitarian crisis; it is a moral one. It is a test for our humanity & ability to save the children’s lives. The action or lack of it, will have a consequence on the future & history will judge our collective actions."

the #UNICEF official also noted that the agency’s own data indicated that one in three children under two years old now suffer from acute #malnutrition.«
Following the deadly Israeli strike on Rafah, James Elder, #Unicef Global Spokesperson, tells FRANCE24's Tom Burges Watson that 'safe zones in Gaza are a dangerous narrative'. He says that so-called safe zones in Gaza cannot guarantee food, water and medicine to survive. 'These safe zones have none of those things, and they get bombed' he says, adding that 'Gaza remains hell on earth for boys and girls and their families'. #Rafah#Israel#Gaza
»a city of #children and families in despair […] I spoke with a young #boy and his sister. The boy had lost one of his eyes. His sister flashed a beautiful smile but was also incredibly shy because her face has been so disfigured by the bombings. Across the corridor was a #mother who had just had her leg amputated; she was laying in a bed next to her critically injured son. Her husband was downstairs; he has had two limbs amputated«
