“When I hear the doctors say he has improved, I am so happy,” Fatema, mum to Fakhruddin, 3 years old.

Fakhruddin was born small and has spent much of his short life fighting malnutrition. At their local hospital in Daikundi Province, Afghanistan, he’s being treated with ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF), a nutritious paste used to treat malnourished children, and he’s getting stronger.

“He mostly eats RUTF and very little other food, though he does love kebab.”

In Afghanistan, 41% of children under five are stunted. UNICEF works with health facilities across the country to find and treat children with malnutrition, so children like Fakhruddin can recover and keep growing.

Good nutrition in the early years shapes how a child grows, learns and plays for the rest of their life - this World Children’s Day, we’re celebrating every child’s right to feel and be healthy. 💙

Young people from across Australia have shared their experiences, their knowledge, and their hopes for a more climate-resilient future.

At this year’s Australian Local Conferences of Youth (LCOY), their voices shaped the 2026 National Child and Youth Statement on Climate Change. UNICEF Australia is proud to support LCOY again, alongside organisers Australian Youth for International Climate Engagement Working Group and UN Youth Australia.

Here are four key findings and young people’s recommendations, from stronger disaster preparedness to First Nations and Pacific leadership.

Practising proper handwashing!

When an earthquake struck Myanmar six months ago, these students and their village were left with no access to clean water or hygiene facilities. Now, thanks to UNICEF, they can drink and wash safely using water containers, hygiene kits, and solar-powered water supply systems.

We’re investing in sustainable solutions to help communities recover and rebuild after natural disasters. From emergency response to lasting change, let’s be there for children in Myanmar.

Us! is here!

However different childhoods look - in the city, the bush, or somewhere in between - every child deserves the same things: love, play, and a safe place to feel at home.

Written by celebrated author Jackie French and illustrated by Elin Andersson, Us! is a brand-new storybook from UNICEF Australia and our partners - inspired by real conversations with kids in Australia about what they need to feel safe, loved and happy.

And we've got some very special friends helping us celebrate: watch The Wiggles bring the story to life in our read-along video (https://unicef.au/4ixktKY)!

Across Gaza, children are learning, playing, and reconnecting with UNICEF-supported summer activities like this one.

As the conflict continues to have a heartbreaking impact on children’s lives, UNICEF’s programs, from learning and nutrition to clean water and health care, keep providing hope.

From emergency response to lasting change, let’s be there for every child in Gaza.

When a polio outbreak was confirmed in Papua New Guinea (PNG) in May last year, UNICEF jumped into action.

In collaboration with the PNG government, and with support from Australia, we worked with healthcare workers around the country to launch three mass vaccination campaigns, keeping more than four million children safe from polio.

In emergencies like polio outbreaks, UNICEF makes sure that children and families have everything they need. From lifesaving vaccines to community outreach, UNICEF is doing our part to and help children thrive.

All smiles for 10-month-old Jehan and her mother Hala!

When Jehan was only a few months old, Hala developed a painful infection that eventually forced her to stop breastfeeding, leaving Jehan at risk of malnutrition.

With UNICEF’s support, Hala quickly received both medical treatment and counselling on breastfeeding again – in the meantime, Jehan was given temporary infant formula to help her grow and stay healthy. Now, Hala is one of 163,000 caregivers who have gotten individual counselling from UNICEF just this year.

For families in Gaza, life continues to be full of uncertainty, fear, and violence. But UNICEF will continue to stay and support mums and bubs like Hala and Jeha, to give every family the best care possible.

“I injured my leg and arm when I jumped and fell. My mum’s leg was also cut by glass.”

When Sofiia’s building was damaged in an overnight attack, the only thing that she and her mother could do was jump from the second storey window. Instead of attending her first day at college, she’s been collecting her belongings from the apartment rubble.

Since the conflict in Ukraine escalated more than four years ago, UNICEF has been providing families like Sofiia’s with financial assistance, psychosocial support, and emergency supplies.

From vaccines to clean water, education and protection, let’s be there for children in Ukraine.

This is little Ummusalama. After her malnutrition screening, she’s been identified as one in two million children in Nigeria suffering from severe acute malnutrition.

Thanks to this house visit and screening, Ummusalama can now get the nutrition she needs to grow healthy. Supported by UNICEF and partners, these health counselling sessions aren’t just giving children the resources they need to thrive – they're empowering caregivers to prevent malnutrition in the first place.

When we come together, we can give every child the healthy childhood they deserve.
