Covering humanitarian crises in the UNICEF press office in NYC | Brit in Brooklyn
The images of malnourished children and stories coming out of Gaza should not be happening in the 21st century. And it certainly shouldn’t be happening somewhere where food is just a matter of miles away.

Speaking to @jaketapper.bsky.social about #Gaza last night

The images coming out of Gaza over the past few days do far more than my words to convey the severity of the situation for children.

But still glad to join @caitrionaperry.bsky.social to unpack just why severe malnutrition is one of the deadliest threats to a young child’s survival. #gaza

There seems to be a trend at the moment of calling something 'humanitarian' and then believing it becomes so, but that's simply not how it works...

'Humanitarian work has to adhere to the principles of independence, neutrality, impartiality and humanity.’

After more than 600 days, parents & families in Gaza are exhausted, but they persevere in the hope of a ceasefire, that they can start to rebuild their lives.

And UNICEF and the UN will continue to persevere with them.

‘Survival cannot be the privilege of those who can go and search for it.

‘We have to meet vulnerable children, new mums, disabled children, the elderly, the sick, the infirm where they are. And that means through sustained, unimpeded humanitarian access’

‘The reality is for children and families in Gaza there is no escape, they cannot leave, they cannot flee in search of safety for their children.

‘They are trapped. And so we, the UN, has to be able to reach them where they are.’
