At UNICEF Canada we're defending the right to childhood. Together, we can give every child, everywhere, a chance to be a kid.
Children in Gaza are eager to return to learning after 2 years of conflict and loss. UNICEF is scaling up temporary classrooms—178K children reached so far, but 638K still need access. We need supplies, funding & safe access to rebuild schools.

Every child deserves to learn in peace.

The ceasefire offers a lifeline for #Gaza’s children.
UNICEF has sent 40 trucks of life-saving aid for children: nutrition items, medicine, vaccines, and clean water. But the needs remain immense.

Today marks two years since the horrific attacks on children and communities in Israel by Hamas and other armed groups.

Killing, maiming, and abducting children are unconscionable acts. UNICEF continues to call for an immediate ceasefire and the release of all hostages.
