There is a high risk that malnutrition will continue to rise across the Gaza Strip due to the alarming lack of food, water, health and nutrition services. UNICEF teams continue to work around the clock to focus on the critical needs of children for protection and humanitarian assistance, with thanks to the generosity of our supporters. Today, Stelios Philanthropic Foundation announced a donation of £640,000 towards our emergency response for the children of Gaza. This donation could help UNICEF provide 15,000 malnourished children in Gaza with Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) for a month.

“Gaza needs an immediate and long-lasting humanitarian ceasefire. How many times have we said – indeed, pleaded for – that? And we must see the release of all hostages, safe and unrestricted access for humanitarian relief, and more crossings for that relief.” UNICEF spokesperson, James Elder, writes in The Guardian about the current situation children are facing in Rafah, Gaza.

We are thrilled to announce that our Rights Respecting Schools Award film has won the Progressive Social Change category at the Brand Film Awards! This film was co-created with almost 50 school students aged 6-16 from 4 schools across the country. A big thank you the children, teachers and experts who committed their time and creative energy to making it. We work with schools in the UK to create safe and inspiring places to learn, where children are respected, their talents are nurtured and they are able to thrive. Our Rights Respecting Schools Award embeds these values in daily school life and gives children the best chance to lead happy, healthy lives and to be responsible, active citizens.
